Chapter 82: Saving People
Li Mansion, although it was late at night, the entire mansion was still brightly lit and crowded.
Second Master Li sat on the chair in the hall, his eyes were bloodshot, revealing tiredness and anxiety that could not be concealed.
Tomorrow is the deadline agreed with the dark dragon, and his daughter Li Xiaowan is still in the hands of the other party, and there is a danger of death at any time. Every time he thinks of his daughter's naughty and cute appearance, his heart feels like it is being grasped by a big hand, as if it has become difficult to breathe.
Although Zhou Shaoxia and Wang Shaoxia, who pointed to Xuanmen, promised to help and persuade him to rest assured, there has been no news from the other party since yesterday, and I don't know if they have found the headquarters of the dark dragon in Xuanzhou City, whether their daughter has been rescued, or is still imprisoned in the dark dragon.
"Master, you haven't rested for a day and a night, and you don't eat, if you continue like this, your body will be dragged down." The one who spoke was an elderly man, dressed in a green shirt, with snow-white hair and deep wrinkles on his face.
The old man's eyes were full of worry when he looked at Second Master Li.
"Lao Wang, I'm fine, you're old, you don't have to stay here with me, let's go down and rest first." Second Master Li shook his head and said to the old man, how can he sleep in this situation now, he is very scared, afraid that after he sleeps, he will receive the news of his daughter's death the next day.
"Hey, then I'll go and tell the kitchen to prepare supper for the master, and you have to eat something, otherwise the young lady will find it, but your body will collapse, master." The old man shook his head and said.
Miss Xiaowan was kidnapped, the young head of the family is nowhere to be found, so many things have happened to the Li family, as the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, he and the Li Mansion are both prosperous and humiliated, how can he sleep.
"No need, Lao Wang, Xiaowan doesn't know if she lives or dies now, how can I eat supper." Second Master Li sighed, suddenly remembered something, and asked the old man, "By the way, has the old Chen family arranged it?" ”
Lao Chen was the captain of the guard of the Li Mansion, and this time in order to protect Li Xiaowan, he was injured by the people of the dark dragon and finally died.
In order to protect Li Xiaowan's death, the other party should arrange his aftermath in public and private, otherwise it will only chill those who work hard for the Li family.
The old man nodded and replied, "Master, I have compensated Lao Chen's widow and children in accordance with the rules of the mansion, except for a one-time compensation of two hundred taels of silver, all the expenses of Lao Chen's children before they reach adulthood will be borne by the Li family." ”
All families in the world that can exist for a long time have a complete set of reward and punishment mechanisms, and the Li family, as one of the families in Xuanzhou, has a history of more than two hundred years, so it is naturally no exception.
The old man's disposal was decent, and there was no transgression.
Hearing the old man's words, Second Master Li was silent for a moment, and then said: "Lao Chen is loyal to my Li Mansion, although he failed to save the young lady this time, he has done his best. Blame the opponent for being too strong. In this way, Lao Wang, you take three hundred taels of silver from my private treasury, make up five hundred taels, and send them to Lao Chen's daughter-in-law. If I'm not mistaken, that kid from the old Chen family shouldn't be small. ”
The old man nodded, "Back to my lord, the kid of the old Chen family is now eight years old." ”
"Eight? It's not small, indeed. In this way, you go and ask Lao Chen's daughter-in-law whether she wants that kid to practice martial arts or study. If you want to practice martial arts, find a martial arts gym in the city, send the child there, and if you have something to achieve in the future, you can take Lao Chen's place; If you want to study, send him to Qingfeng City and arrange for him to enter the Li family's school, if he can get fame, he can also comfort Lao Chen's spirit in the sky. ”
Qingfeng City is the headquarters of the Li family, and there is a special school there that only accepts the children of the Li family, and the teachers in it are all those who have failed to be promoted in the family, and some of them are the old men of the Li family who used to be officials in the court and then returned to their hometowns.
In addition to the Li family's school, the Li family's ancestral hall is also over there.
"Yes, sir." The old man bowed and replied, sighing secretly in his heart.
Li Erye's treatment of the old Chen family is not thin, five hundred taels of silver is equivalent to 500,000 copper coins, a copper coin can buy a large cake, and ordinary families can live with peace of mind for a lifetime with such a sum of money.
In addition, the Li family is responsible for the children's study or martial arts expenses, even if the old Chen family does not go out to work in the future, but just stays at home to take care of his son, he will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life.
After arranging the affairs of the old Chen family, the little energy that Li Erye had just mentioned was also consumed, he sat on the chair with blank eyes, and said to the old man in a hoarse tone: "Okay, you go down." Remember to tell the porter to notify me as soon as there is news. ”
In a hidden place outside Xuanzhou City, in the dim corridor, several black-clothed people dressed in black cloth, wearing black turbans, and holding sharp daggers walked back and forth in the corridor, their shoes stepping on the cold stone slabs and stirring up the sound of footsteps.
"My head hurts! What's wrong with me? Li Xiaowan supported her body with her elbows and slowly sat up from the floor, a tingling pain came from the back of her head, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.
After looking at her palm and finding that it was okay, Li Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at her surroundings.
It was a dimly lit place, and there was no light in sight except for the torches on the walls.
She was in a cell now, with the saber long gone, and a row of iron fences in front of her. The iron door was firmly locked with a large rusty lock.
"Is there anybody? Let me out! After discovering her situation, Li Xiaowan's body trembled, fear arose, she didn't care about the tingling sensation in her brain, and crawled to the iron fence, shook the iron gate vigorously, and shouted loudly outside.
"Shout what to shout! Disturbing dreams in the middle of the night! I don't let people sleep! ”
There was a shouting and scolding in the distance, and Li Xiaowan looked up, and in the dark corridor, a masked man in a black night suit staggered towards this side.
With a torch in one hand and a key in the other, he walked outside the cell in a few steps.
"Yo! It's you, little beauty, who woke up so soon. Looking at Li Xiaowan, who had a beautiful face and was full of youthful vitality in front of him, the masked man was instantly shocked, and said with a smile in his mouth.
A pair of eyes looked at the girl in front of him unscrupulously.
At this time, Li Xiaowan no longer had the long sword she carried with her, her clothes were messy, her collar was messy, and she couldn't cover the scenery on her chest at all, the mutton fat white hosta that fixed her hair on her head was no longer there, and her black hair was messily covering her shoulders.
Where is there still half of the squeamishness of the eldest lady of the Li family, and her embarrassed appearance makes people feel pity, and I want to put it in my arms to comfort her.
Looking at the masked man who was looking at her with a smile in front of her, although Li Xiaowan was scared in her heart, she still pretended to be calm and said: "You let me out quickly, my father is the owner of the food and residence, if you dare to touch me." My father and the Li family will never let you go! ”
When she finished speaking, she tightened the clothes in front of her, wanting to cover the exposed spring light, but she didn't know that after this action, the clothes were tightly attached to the delicate body, and the already plump figure became even more attractive.
Looking at Li Xiaowan in front of her, the masked man narrowed his eyes, licked his lips, and said playfully: "I thought it was just a little beauty, but I didn't expect to look away, not bad, not bad." ”
His eyes looked up and down Li Xiaowan's body, full of aggression, and his breathing began to become rapid.
The masked man looked around and saw that he was the only one left, so he placed the torch in his hand casually on the wall in front of the cell and took out the key and walked towards the door.
When Li Xiaowan saw this, after realizing that something was wrong, she retreated again and again, and said in a panic: "What are you going to do!" Don't come here! She secretly operated the internal strength in her body, and there was a tingling sensation from the dantian, and there was no response, as if she had become an ordinary person, and she could only look at each other in despair.
"What? Of course I'm going to you. The masked man had already opened the door of the cell at this time, he licked his lips, and looked at the panicked girl in front of him with a pair of red eyes, his heart was full of inexplicable pleasure.
No matter what he is in the Li family, this is the dark dragon, for people like themselves who will pin their lives to their belts at any time, it is right to have fun in time, if you can enjoy the little beauty in front of you, it is not in vain that you have lived so many years of grievance.
He looked at Li Xiaowan's bumpy body insolently, and then licked the corners of his mouth.
The one in front of me should be very moist when I think about it.
Thoughts rose in my heart, and lust filled my mind, and I couldn't care about anything else.
"Don't come here, please let me go, my family is very rich, as long as you let me go, my father will definitely give you a lot of money." Li Xiaowan's back was leaning against the cold wall, without internal strength, she was just an ordinary little girl, how could she compare to the strong man in front of her.
There was a cry in her tone, and her heart was full of unwillingness, although she had the heart to struggle, but the reality was so cold that she didn't have the slightest way out at all.
"You beg me, maybe I'll let you go as soon as I'm happy." The masked man held Li Xiaowan's slender waist with one hand, and said in a trembling voice.
The more the other person struggles, the happier he becomes.
Just when the masked man kept tearing Li Xiaowan's clothes, and Li Xiaowan was already desperate, closing her eyes and waiting for death, a warm voice sounded.
"It's good that I wasn't late."
A smell of blood came, Li Xiaowan subconsciously opened her eyes, and looked at the man with a giant sword in front of her, with messy clothes, a tired face on his face, and a bloodstained man, Li Xiaowan cried directly.
The person who came was Zhou Xingyu.
After going to the Xuanzhou Branch of the Qintianjian to get the information about the Dark Dragon, he immediately returned to the meeting place, and after summarizing the news from the four directions, he finally got two locations.
Because they were afraid of long nights and dreams, and worried that Li Xiaowan would be in danger, Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu decided to act separately, and if one side did not find the Dark Dragon Headquarters, they would immediately join the other party.
As it turned out, the two were right in their fears.
Looking at the corpse in front of him and the girl who was crawling on the ground in pain, Zhou Xingyu knew that if he was one step later, it was estimated that Li Xiaowan would be more than lucky.
Fortunately, the tragedy has not happened yet, and he came on time to stop everything.
"Miss Li, don't cry, be careful of the people who alarm the dark dragon." This time, he was the only one who came, if he was really discovered by the dark dragon, he didn't care, he could evacuate at any time, Li Xiaowan would be miserable.
As he spoke, Zhou Xingyu took off the coat he was draping on his body and threw it to Li Xiaowan, who was in full bloom on the ground, "Miss Li put on your clothes first, I'll wait for you outside, it's better to hurry." ”
After speaking, Zhou Xingyu ignored Li Xiaowan on the ground and walked straight outside.
