Chapter 53: Getting Away with It

The news of Li Wuchang's abduction did not spread, only a few people knew about it, and the reactions of various forces were mixed.

Li Hu reported the whole matter to Li Lingwu, and suggested that he send more good men to make full preparations and then enter the dense forest to wipe out the Hanshui Gang and rescue Li Wuchang.

Li Lingwu was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "Don't worry about this matter for the time being." ”

Li Hu, Li Qing, and Li Zhongyue were puzzled.

Li Lingwu explained: "Today, His Majesty hinted to me that there is no need to get too stiff with the Hanshui Gang, the Hanshui Gang is too involved. ”

Li Hu said angrily: "Last time, the Hanshui Gang made trouble and kidnapped the former court officials, and they were suppressed, and this time they kidnapped our Li Mansion disciples, I don't know the reason, is it going to be suppressed again?"

After Yan Taizu seized the world, he has always given preferential treatment to Xiangyang City, and the major old gangs also helped each other when the court was in trouble, and they were deeply loved by the royal family.

However, in recent years, the major gangs in Xiangyang City have become more and more excessive.

Take the Hanshui Gang as an example, on the surface, it is engaged in water transportation business, but secretly it is engaged in smuggling goods, especially salt business, and there is no court law at all in his eyes.

It is no secret that many officials have been bribed by the Hanshui Gang.

I don't know what the reason was last winter, the Hanshui gang kidnapped the former court secretary Lang, and the secretary Lang was in a different place, but he was pressed down, and only a few small miscellaneous fish of the Hanshui gang were confessed.

Now I don't know what the reason is, the people of the Hanshui Gang kidnapped the children of the Li Mansion, just a few days after the accident, even the saint hinted to Li Lingwu to let the Hanshui Gang go, what happened?

Li Qing cautiously asked, "Big brother, what about impermanence?"

Everyone knows very well that the Hanshui Gang's style of doing things, if the Li Mansion does not send someone to save Li Wuchang, Li Wuchang is very likely to die.

Everyone looked at Li Lingwu and hoped that he had a good way.

Li Lingwu sighed and said, "It was Lord Feng who spoke, and His Majesty also made a decision after thinking about it for a long time. ”

Lu Yuanfeng, the younger brother of the saint, is notoriously ambitious, greedy for money and lustful, and has a very personal relationship with the leader of the Hanshui Gang, and will receive a lot of benefits from the Hanshui Gang every year.

It seems that Lu Yuanfeng spoke for the Hanshui Gang, in order to save the third son of the Hanshui gang leader and sell the Hanshui Gang a face, the Hanshui Gang will definitely be more respectful to him and make a good calculation.

Li Hu said helplessly: "Since it is the Feng Lord who comes forward, it seems that the Li Mansion can only let that group of people live, but what should I do if I am impermanent?"

If it weren't for the pursuit of the Li Mansion, Zhu Changxing and the others would be fine as long as they walked out of Nanshan.

Although I don't know why the Hanshui Gang kidnapped Li Wuchang, just seeing that they dispatched so many masters, they must have bad intentions, and Li Wuchang is not a good-tempered person, how can there be no reason.

Li Zhongyue interjected: "Why don't you send a group of people to go into the depths of the dense forest to find them and negotiate with them?"

Li Lingwu said: "What does Feng Wang Ye mean, Li Mansion should not send anyone to come forward, after all, the two sides already have grudges, and they are afraid of causing greater conflicts and causing more casualties when they meet, as for impermanence, Feng Wang Ye promised that he will send people into the mountain to negotiate with Zhu Changxing and others in person, if he does not meet them, after Zhu Changxing and his group return to Xiangyang, he will personally come forward to communicate." ”

Li Zhongyue said disdainfully: "Can you believe the words of Lord Feng?"

Li Lingwu sighed and was silent.

Lu Yuanfeng's chest was slapping the earth-shattering sound beforehand, but he often backtracked.

What's more, the chances of Li Wuchang being able to live to Xiangyang City are not great, as far as they know, Li Wuchang has suffered serious internal injuries before, and now he is in the dense forest, sleeping in the open air, and he doesn't know martial arts, how can he survive.

Li Qing said: "Then you can only resign yourself to fate." ”

Li Hu sighed: "Impermanence...... We will definitely be blamed in the future. ”

The crowd was silent.

Blame it or not, can he come back?

......

Li Mansion, East Courtyard Partial Hall.

Le Dong looked at the Zhang family and congratulated: "That kid is estimated to be buried in the dense forest of Nanshan this time, and now the lady should get her wish." ”

Zhang snorted coldly and said, "It's really cheap, I originally wanted to see him make a fool of himself at the martial arts conference." ”

Turning his head to the money housekeeper on the side, he said, "How did you check the matter?"

Steward Qian bowed his head and replied: "Mrs. Hui, the Dongli Restaurant was indeed funded by that kid, the master did not come forward, and there was no other big man to support him, only two local young people in Chang'an also contributed a small amount of money, and they had no background." ”

Zhang sneered: "Extort my mother's money and use it to open a restaurant, how can there be such a cheap thing, you go to Zhang's mansion to find Yanbo and tell him that there is a chance for revenge now." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Whether it's coercion, temptation, or other conspiracies, you must drive away the other two partners and get the Dongli Restaurant in your hands, it's really a joke to put such a restaurant in the hands of a concubine, not to mention that the concubine is about to die." ”

......

Xuanpingfang.

Jiang Ming looked at Zhao Xun and said, "Now the situation is like this, the stunned uncle Li Qing has already hinted at me, saying that it is inconvenient for the Li Mansion to come forward in the future, so I can only resign myself to fate." ”

Zhao Xun sneered and said, "Is it really so ruthless? If they don't come forward from the Li Mansion, won't they really be buried in Nanshan?"

Jiang Minglun said: "No matter what, I'm definitely going to find it." ”

He is righteous, Li Wuchang has helped him now, and now he is pulling him to make money, he has not repaid it, now Li Wuchang is in trouble, how can he sit idly by.

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "I'll go with you, so I can take care of it." ”

Jiang Minglun shook his head and said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so don't go yet...... Don't frown, you're not idle, you have an explanation when you open a restaurant, saying that he has offended a lot of people before, and someone will definitely find trouble in the restaurant, and now that you are not there, you just stay and pay more attention, don't let people take advantage of the loophole. ”

Zhao Xun thought for a while, nodded, agreed, and then sighed: "I don't know how the stunned young is now, whether the internal injuries are healed, such a cold day, and in that ghost place, it's terrible to think about." ”

Li Wuchang is really not very good now.

It was as if they had entered a large labyrinth, which was overgrown with thorns and had no road at all, and they had to use their swords to open the way, and they also had to prevent poisons or beasts from popping up at any time, and sometimes all kinds of traps.

In just one and a half days, three brothers died.

In addition to Li Wuchang, Zhu Changxing's group of eighteen people were hacked to death by Li Hu on the periphery of the dense forest, two were poisoned to death, and two were buried in deep pits, and now there are only twelve left.

The dry food has been eaten, tired and hungry, and even worse, at this time it is raining lightly, it is really a disaster, the weather is already extremely cold, and now it is drenched by the rain, it is simply cold.

Li Wuchang is okay, with a domineering fire-based true qi body protector like "Cangyan Jue", he doesn't feel particularly cold.

Others are simply miserable.

Zhu Changxing has become very sensitive in such a bad situation, and he no longer has the demeanor when he was in Chang'an City, the eldest prince has a full temper, he scolds his subordinates loudly at every turn, shouting words like waste in his mouth, his face is cloudy, and his eyes are very unfriendly when he looks at Li Wuchang, as if he will kill people at any time.

If the dry food is not enough, there will naturally be no Li Wuchang's share, Li Wuchang has not eaten for a day and a night, and he is hungry and panicked.

Li Wuchang thought about his escape plan.

There is no way to wait for the moment when he walks out of the dense forest, and there is no way out in another day, Zhu Changxing will definitely collapse and go crazy, Li Wuchang does not dare to guarantee that Zhu Changxing will not do it.

Also, Li Wuchang has to eat, Zhu Changxing and his group have eaten dry food, and they can only dig some plant rhizomes to satisfy their hunger, even if this is not Li Wuchang's share.

If you continue like this, you will definitely starve to death.

Can't die, you can't die, you have to find a chance to run away, Li Wuchang was secretly scared and determined.

Another day passed, and everyone still didn't find a way out, but seemed to have entered the deeper part of Nanshan.

The light rain was still falling, and the jungle, which had not had much light, became darker, and there was no fire, and everyone was hungry and cold, and they were tired for another day, and they didn't even have the strength to dig the roots of the plants, so they fell asleep next to each other.

After a while, there was a snoring sound.

The opportunity has finally arrived.

Li Wuchang opened his eyes, used his eyesight, and found that everyone was sleeping, Zhu Changxing and Mr. Ye were leaning against a big tree, and some of the others were lying directly on the ground, and some were sleeping with their backs together, supporting each other.

His hands were tied with ropes, and there were two people beside him, who were originally holding Li Wuchang, but now they were asleep.

There are large trees on three sides, and the front looks like a slope, which is obscured by dead grass, and I don't know how high.

I can only fight for it.

Li Wuchang stood up, his head was faint, his grandmother was a bear, she was hungry, her eyes were green, and her legs were trembling.

He took a few deep breaths, shook his head vigorously, forced himself to cheer up, carefully observed the crowd, tiptoed to the side of the slope, looked down, and couldn't see anything clearly.

Grandma is a bear, a dead bird is facing the sky, and she will not die for thousands of years.

Li Wuchang turned his heart sideways, closed his eyes, and jumped down.

The sound came out, and everyone was awakened.

"What's going on?" Zhu Changxing was the first to wake up and yelled, thinking that some beast was coming.

The others were also awakened, and they drew their weapons and looked around.

"Third son, it's not good, Li Wuchang's kid is gone. The subordinate in charge of guarding Li Wuchang shouted.

"What are you talking about, make it clear, it's gone, what's going on?" Zhu Changxing was furious in his heart.

Everyone hurriedly searched for it and searched around the small area, but found nothing.

Mr. Ye walked to the edge of the slope, looked at the messy wild grass, and shouted to everyone: "Come here, that kid should have jumped from here." ”

Zhu Changxing came over to take a look and said fiercely: "Good boy, dare to come with me like this." ”

His eyes glared angrily, and he continued: "Look around for a way, you must go down and catch that stinky boy." ”

The slope looked a little steep, Zhu Changxing didn't dare to jump down like that, and ordered his subordinates to find a way, and at the same time, anger surged in his heart.

All the subordinates promised one after another, and they all looked like they were gritting their teeth.

The group of them made such a mess because of Li Wuchang, and now that the main owner has run away, the anger in their hearts can be imagined.
