Chapter 262 Everyone goes their separate ways
On the bank of Luo River, Wu Zetian looked at Li Cunxi with a very strange look.
"I don't care about his life or death anymore. Without Wu Xiaojie and Liu Chali, Li Gui can't make any big waves. I'm just curious whether you are harboring Li Gui."
"I am also the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture. Naturally, I know what should be done and what should not be done."
Li Cunxi was still stubborn. Anyway, Li Gui was now in Xize Silver Bank and had not left the bank for half a year. Even if Wu Zetian's internal guards monitored Yangzhou, they would not be able to find Li Gui.
"Whether you did it or not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have already achieved the desired result." Wu Zetian said calmly, "From the beginning, I wanted you to be with the Wu family, just like Sansi and Li Xian. Sansi is a worrying person. He will cause trouble sooner or later. You are different from Chengsi. Chengsi grew up under my watch, but you grew up under our surveillance."
Li Cunxi silently lowered his head.
After the Youzhou case broke out, when the large army was paying homage to the dead in Taiyuan County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Bingzhou, the appearance of a group of assassins made Li Cunxi realize that it might not just be the Di Mansion that had been under surveillance for so many years.
Now it seems that in addition to Princess Taiping's men, there are other people's assassins.
It seems that these assassins had only one purpose outside the Di Mansion from beginning to end, which was simply to monitor Li Cunxi himself.
As for why...
It's just the word "revenge".
The descendants of Li's clan hoped to have a descendant of the exile to raise the banner of revenge, the Wu family hoped to get rid of the descendant of the exile who posed a threat to the throne, and the emperor hoped to use the descendant of the exile to balance the political situation, so everyone's eyes were naturally focused on him.
It just so happened that the person who adopted him was Di Renjie, so Li Cunxi became a special one among the exiles.
While other exiles were suffering from disasters in the harsh land of Lingnan, Li Cunxi was still living a good life in Di Mansion.
Wu Zetian turned her head, looked at Luoshui, and asked:
"Of the daughters who have inherited the throne, the only one who has not married is Yuan Hui. How about I help you arrange this marriage in advance?"
Li Cunxi suddenly woke up, fell to his knees with a thud, and knocked his head on the ground.
"I dare not! I am the descendant of an exile, I dare not dream of the noble daughter of the King of Wei."
"Are you afraid or unwilling?" Wu Zetian raised her eyebrows.
"A teacher and a student are much better than a father-in-law and a son-in-law," said Li Cunxi.
"Well, Yuan Hui is only nine years old, it's too early." Wu Zetian walked back, "Remember what I said when you go south this time."
"Yes."
"Yanhao, follow me, it won't do any harm."
"I understand."
Returning to the dragon chariot, Wu Zetian waved her hand, indicating that the two could leave.
Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao got on the carriage and drove away under the watchful eyes of Wu Zetian, the Inner Guards and the Qianniu Guards.
Soon, two figures appeared among the Qianniu Guards.
It was Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang. They were brought to Wu Zetian by General Huan Bin of the Qianniu Guard and they bowed to her.
"During this trip south, my two beloved ministers are now in your hands. You must protect them well."
"We obey your orders!" they said in unison.
"I also want to warn you that those six families must be completely wiped out. Don't leave a single person alive. I don't want any news about Liang Wang Wu Sansi to spread from their mouths."
"Here!"
The carriage had not traveled ten miles when Li Cunxi asked Ma Rong to stop the carriage and wait for others.
Soon, Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang followed in casual clothes.
"What did His Majesty say?" Li Cunxi asked.
"It is said that all six families must be killed, and no one can be left alive. Cunxi, your family was wrongly killed, and His Majesty does not want anyone to spread the news that it is related to Wu Sansi." Li Yuanfang said.
"Your Majesty, my whole family died in vain because of your wish not to?" Li Cunxi laughed sinisterly, "Well, let's vent our anger on these six families first. Ma Rong, you and Qiao Tai go and do your work, Dayou, you drive the carriage."
"Okay."
Lu Dayou jumped off the horse and exchanged positions with Ma Rong.
Ma Rong and Qiao Tai bowed to Li Cunxi, and one went to Huzhou and the other went to Jiangzhou.
……
Half a month later, Huzhou, Liujiazhuang.
Xiaomei received a letter, glanced at Ma Rong standing below, and said to Pei Rongxian:
"Mr. Pei, have someone make some tea and bring it over."
Pei Rong bowed first and went out to give instructions.
Xiaomei casually opened the envelope and said, "You can do it too. Let me see what Cunxi wrote."
The content of the letter was not long. Xiaomei understood it after taking a few glances at it and put the letter on the table.
Not long after, Pei Rong walked in first and saw the letters casually spread out on the table at a glance.
He walked forward, picked up the letter, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "We can do a lot of digging now!"
"The weapons and armor can be temporarily placed in Cuiping Mountain, but the nearly 10 million taels of silver must be sent to Xize Silver Bank as soon as possible. They are competing with Hongtong Shop for business." Ma Rong said.
"Of course that's the case. I'll call Zhao Wanquan over and ask him to bring his brothers to start digging along the mountain path." Pei Rongxian clapped his hands, his eyes filled with excitement.
He would be rich after completing this business. The money on the account of Xize Bank was less than 10 million taels of silver, and King Li Zhen of Yue left 10 million for them.
"My people can be responsible for the security of various places in Cuiping Mountain. If we start digging, your people will most likely not be discovered by outsiders. Besides, after the Huzhou case, few people have climbed Cuiping Mountain." Xiaomei said with a smile.
"This really shows the ability of our master. After the Huzhou case, the master ordered us to spread the news everywhere, saying that the father and son of Liujiazhuang went to the mountain, and the father secretly harmed his own son. He was careless and fell down the mountain. It can be regarded as retribution in this life. Once the news spread, those fathers and sons did not dare to go to the mountain. The children were afraid of their fathers, and the fathers were also afraid that Liu Chali's evil wind would blow on them."
"Hahahahaha, that's even better. It's up to you guys from now on. I'm about to return and will go to Jiangzhou in advance to make preparations. Madam, you have to leave in September. We will meet at Rujia Inn in Wuping County, Jiangzhou on October 13th. The young master wants to avenge his blood feud."
"I know. I will go there of course."
"Then I'll take my leave, ma'am."
Ma Rong bowed and turned to leave.
According to Li Cunxi's plan, he was about to secretly follow an escort agency to Duchang County in Jiangzhou.
The cargo transported by the escort agency was a black robe and a phoenix-wing gilded spear. Yes, it was the phoenix-wing gilded spear that the fake Yuwen Chengdu held in the Battle of Enjizhuang!
After the war, Li Cunxi had the weapon taken away, saying that he wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
The phoenix-wing gilded boring machine weighs 320 kilograms and requires a person with supernatural powers to wield it. But Lin Yongzhong was born with supernatural powers and could use such a weapon.
Of course, along with the Phoenix-wing gilded boring tool, there was also an oversized meteor hammer that was also for Lin Yongzhong to use.
