Chapter 66: Self-inflicted
The people in the house were all shocked, Li Qinghuan and the three of them flashed outside the house, and Li Hongming also staggered, and came to the courtyard with Li Zihan's support.
I saw that under the courtyard wall, there were two figures standing upright, under the light of the stars and moon, the fish scales and light armor on their bodies were shining, but they were two majestic and mighty generals in the army.
When Li Hongming saw the two of them, there was a look of hope in his eyes, because he recognized that these two generals were Chen Dake and Xie Jun who had helped them defend themselves against foreign enemies in Li Jiqianzhai a few days ago.
After discussion, in the afternoon, Chen Dake rode his horse to the 100 households in Mizhi County, and after seeing Xie Jun, he told everyone what happened in the morning and the plan to discuss with everyone, Xie Jun saw that the situation was urgent, and did not dare to delay, so he immediately and Chen Dake quietly took out Li Shouzhong, who was not tightly guarded, and arranged for his soldiers to send Li Jiqian Village.
Subsequently, the two of them have been lurking outside the Li clan patriarch's mansion, because the guards here are very tight, and they are ready to wait for the sky to get dark before entering the mansion to rescue people. Just as they were about to act, they saw Li Qinghuan and the others hurrying over and entering the mansion.
Xie Jun secretly said badly, Li Qinghuan and Li Qinglin have reached the realm of senior martial artists, although they are old and frail, but they must not be underestimated; the second elder Li Qingqi martial arts is the highest among them, that day his "divine arm bow" shocking blow, so that Chen Dake and Xie Jun also secretly admired. The sudden arrival of the three masters immediately disrupted the plans of the two, Xie Jun and Chen Dake discussed for a while, and now there is no way to retreat, and they decided to act at the opportunity, if the situation is critical, they can only attack and save people!
They quietly sneaked into the mansion, how could those clan guards notice, and soon came to the courtyard where Li Hongming and they lived. Hidden on the courtyard wall, faintly heard the conversation of several people in the room, Chen Dake was jealous and hateful, and his temper was violent, and he gradually couldn't listen to it, and couldn't help but laugh angrily, mocking loudly, which made Xie Jun, who had always been witty and calm, feel helpless, so he had to jump off the courtyard wall with his senior brother and confront Li Qinghuan and others on the spot.
Except for the Great Elder Li Qinglin who stared at these two strange generals with some doubts, Li Qinghuan and Li Qingque had seen Chen Dake and Xie Jun in Li Jiqianzhai that day.
Li Qinghuan's heart sank, and he immediately clenched his fists and said: "Two generals, I don't know what happened when you came uninvited at night, what happened to visit the wall?"
Chen Dake ignored the irony implied in his words, his red face was tense like a jujube, and he shouted: "You old and immortal brutes, for the sake of a trumped-up treasure rumor, not only secretly calculated the children of your own clan, but also arranged for someone to kidnap a little girl in a mask to blackmail her father, a dignified Li clan, one of the three major forces in Mizhi County, but you did such a shameless act, why did you have the face to ask me why I came?!"
Li Qinghuan's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "I'm afraid the general has misunderstood, what kind of plot is the same family, kidnapping women, it's all nonsense!"
Chen Dake was categorical and said sharply: "At this time, you are still pretending to be innocent and pretending to be innocent? I personally killed Li Qingcheng, whom you sent at Hua Bustard Mountain in the morning, and he was still masked when he died! You kidnapped Li Jina, a disciple of the Li family, and the evidence is conclusive, but the general saw it with his own eyes, how can you allow you to quibble!"
Li Qinghuan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he was speechless. And the Great Elder Li Qinglin and Li Qingcheng were born from the same mother, and when they heard this, they shouted even more in shock: "What did you say? Qingcheng was killed? How do you know that he is on the Flower Bustard Mountain?!"
Xie Jun said coldly: "You think the plan is thorough, but you don't know that the secrets are not clear!" Li Qingcheng instigated Li Jina to go to Li Jiqianzhai to visit Xiaoyou with Li Hongji and Li Guo in Mizhi County, and then kidnapped Li Jina halfway, and deliberately let the two teenagers go, saying that they would go back to the county seat to find Li Hongming and ask him to go to Huabustard Mountain to redeem people in person, but in fact, he wanted to use his daughter to coerce Li Hongming to tell the whereabouts of the treasure. But what you never expected was that Li Hongji and the others did not return to the county seat, but rushed directly to Li Jiqianzhai and found my senior brother and them for help, so your calculation failed, and Li Qingcheng also died because of it, which is called self-inflicted!"
After Xie Jun finished speaking, the entire courtyard suddenly fell silent, Li Qinghuan and Li Qinglin looked at each other, and they couldn't say a word in shock. And Li Qingque looked at Xie Jun and Li Qinghuan suspiciously, at a loss.
After a while, I heard Li Hongming's voice tremble, and asked anxiously: "Where is my Ji Na, is she safe?"
When Chen Dake heard this, his face as red as a heavy jujube was even more cloudy, and he roared angrily: "It's a pity that little girl, she was originally rescued by us, but who knew that she was attacked by the mad tiger Haoyin hidden in the shadows, and was hit hard and fell under the cliff of Hua Bustard Mountain......
Chen Dake's words were like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, which shocked Li Hongming to stand on the spot, while Li Zihan held his head and squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.
Li Hongming's body shook, almost about to fall, Ji Na is the pearl in his palm, regarded as a treasure, suddenly heard of the death of his beloved daughter, so that he completely lost his usual composure, only to see tears streaming down his face, staggered towards Li Qinghuan, pointed with a halberd in his right hand, and shouted in a hissed voice: "Patriarch! Li Qinghuan! Why do you want to do this? You return my daughter......
Li Qinghuan didn't expect his near-perfect plan to change like this, and the current situation was completely out of his control. In order to covet the treasure, he deliberately brought Li Hongming and others back to the clan, resettled them, and gave favors, but he did not see Li Hongming give the treasure; then he designed to kidnap Ji Na and make dangerous moves, intending to blackmail Li Hongming into submission and provide a place for the treasure to hide. Li Jina's death was really not his intention, he was not a vicious person, and he was not willing to kill his own children easily until he had to. However, although Jina was not killed by him, she died because of him, which is a fact that cannot be shirked.
Li Qinghuan is a master of the high-level martial arts realm, but in the face of Li Hongming, who is slowly approaching, full of grief and indignation, and much weaker than him, he involuntarily retreats step by step.
Li Qingque, who was on the side, reflexively took off his big bow at this time, pointed an arrow at Chen Dake and them, and shouted angrily: "My Li clan is a dignified and decent person, how could I commit such a despicable act, it must be because you two guys have ill intentions and deliberately frame them! Hongming, you must not fall for them!"
Xie Jun smiled faintly, and a small bow and crossbow instantly appeared in his hand, which was the arm crossbow among the three major crossbows. He took an arrow to Li Qingque, and said with a mocking tone: "The truth is the truth, and it is not something that you can cover up with a loud voice." When I saw you in Li Jiqian Village before, I thought you were a good man who dared to act and distinguish between right and wrong, and had the idea of making friends. If you don't know about it, then if it's true or not, you can ask your eldest brother about it, and then take a good look at Li Hongming in front of you! Finally, please ask your heart! Of course, if you still have a conscience!"
Li Qingque is obsessed with martial arts, has no distractions, and like Yu Hongzhi, he is a typical martial arts idiot, he has no interest in family affairs, and he never participates, and Li Qinghuan and others did not inform this younger brother with a sense of justice.
Li Qingque and his eldest brother Li Qinghuan are siblings, since he was a child, he grew up under the care of his brother who is more than ten years older than him, from the eldest brother, he learned to know right and wrong, learn to distinguish between good and evil, beautiful and ugly, he practiced martial arts diligently, in order to punish evil and promote good, fight grievances, and has always believed that Li Qinghuan is a good man with iron bones, and worships him as his own example idol, and has never disobeyed his brother's orders in his life.
But what was happening in front of him subverted all his thoughts, making him dare not believe it, and he didn't want to believe it. He turned his head and looked at his brother, who he once trusted immensely, with pleading and hope in his eyes, hoping that he could loudly refute Xie Jun's words and clarify all this!
However, he was doomed to disappointment.
Li Qinghuan's face was pale, his eyes were complicated to look at Li Hongming, who was approaching step by step, and he secretly asked himself in his heart, is this right or wrong?
At this time, Li Qinglin on the other side of him suddenly moved, his figure flashed, and in a blink of an eye, he came to Li Hongming, his eyes revealed fierce and firm, and his right hand with bulging green tendons was loosened forward, only to hear a pop, and a short blade suddenly emerged from Li Hongming's back.
Li Hongming's martial arts were already much weaker than Li Qinglin's, and when he suddenly heard the bad news of his beloved daughter, his heart was broken, his soul was not guarded, and he was not prepared at all, Li Qinglin's long sword had pierced through his abdomen and back out. He only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then the strength of his whole body seemed to be slowly withdrawn, and as Li Qinglin's long sword was pulled out, he slowly fell to the ground, only the fingers of his right hand were still pointing at Li Qinghuan, who was close at hand, and his eyes were full of incomprehension and unwillingness.
Li Qinghuan didn't expect the second brother to make such a ruthless move in public, and he was also taken aback, but he heard Li Qinglin turn around and shout at him: "Big brother, the matter has come to this, what are you hesitating about, do you want my Li clan's hard work and great foundation for so many years to be ruined?!"
Li Qinghuan's heart couldn't bear and the shame suddenly subsided in this drink, and his mind instantly became clear, since he ascended to the position of patriarch, he is no longer Li Qingque's original jealous, honest and kind big brother, for the interests of the family, for personal honor and disgrace, he can do whatever it takes.
Li Qinghuan was really angry, and his strength blew the white robe into a hunting sound, and he didn't look at Li Hongming, who was lying on the ground, dying, his face was cold and resolute. He took out the treasure knife on his waist and shouted at the hesitant Li Qingque: "Qingque, do it!"
Seeing that the patriarch had made up his mind, Li Qinglin also waved his sword and shouted: "When a foreign enemy is coming, all the guards will surround the patriarch's mansion, and if you encounter a stranger, you will be killed!"
The voice came out, and the patriarch's mansion suddenly became in a commotion, and the guards in the mansion were all elites in the clan, about a hundred people, and for a while, torches were everywhere, swords and guns were raised at the same time, and everyone surrounded the entire patriarch's mansion, and at the same time, more than 20 backbones gathered towards this courtyard.
Li Qinghuan knew that Chen Dake and Xie Jun were strong in martial arts, but there were three masters of the high-level martial arts realm on his side, plus more than 100 elite guards in the mansion, so he decided that this battle was unjustified. After all, he is the patriarch of the Li clan, and he is by no means an ordinary person, and he has a decision in his heart, so he decisively decides to kill people. After all, once the news of this matter of coveting treasures and killing the children of the clan is spread, it will not have a good reputation, and if it is small, it will cause the people in the clan to turn away from morality and lose the capital to compete with the other two major forces, and if it is large, the people will rebel and leave, endangering the survival of the clan.
However, to his surprise, Li Qingque did not carry out his order without hesitation as before, but stared at him with blank eyes, as if he couldn't see him clearly, and the divine arm bow in his hand was also trembling, and the arrow was on the string, but it was never launched.
Li Qinghuan waved his sword, rushed towards Chen Dake and them together with Li Qinglin, and shouted to Li Qingque again: "Qingque, kill!"
Chen Dake waved his big gun and met it blatantly, and the "Cultivation Surplus Marksmanship" unfolded, attacking from a long distance and opening and closing, shrouding them in the gun.
Xie Jun didn't make a move, he still stared intently at Li Qingque, who would go berserk at any time, he deeply understood that the "Divine Arm Bow" in Li Qingque's hand was extremely powerful, if he was distracted to help Chen Dake, once the Divine Arm Bow in Li Qingque's hand broke out, the two of them were likely to be hit hard. After all, this Li Qingque is the strongest master of the Li clan. Of course, the arm crossbow in his hand is also not a vegetarian, and I believe that he can fight with Li Qingque's divine arm bow! So the key to this battle is whether Chen Dake can resist the attack of Li Qinghuan and Li Qinglin, and whether he can repel Li Qingque as soon as possible, and then rush to the aid of Chen Dake in time!
It has been more than three years since Chen Dake entered the primary realm of senior martial artists, and his realm is stable, coupled with the arrival of Wang Jiayin and others a few days ago, everyone has been ordered by the Pure Sky Master, and he faintly feels that he has a little sign of breaking through to the intermediate realm. And Li Qinghuan and Li Qinglin are both septuagenarian old men, they have only stepped into the stage of senior martial artists for more than a year, and it is estimated that there is no hope for further progress in this life, so as soon as the three of them fight, Chen Dake's spear is long and powerful, and although Li Qinghuan and Li Qinglin's sword and long sword are exquisite and elusive, it is difficult to get close in a short time, and they fought for a while.
Xie Jun's round face still had a habitual smile, but he was very anxious in his heart, he knew that although Chen Dake's side was fine now, but after a long battle, he would definitely fall into disadvantage, not to mention that there were so many guards watching from the side.
Quietly looking at the dangerous Li Qingque on the other side, Xie Jun's brain was running rapidly, and according to the previous situation and changes, he made a bold decision.
