Chapter 597 Long Feng has an idea
Yuan Qi, unable to accept this cruel fact, fell backwards.
Long Feng and Hu Yun stood on both sides and hurriedly supported Yuan Qi to prevent him from lying on the ground.
Chen Yiqiu glanced at the nine hall masters who stood up in a hurry, smiled helplessly, and together with Long Feng and Hu Yun, helped Yuan Qi to the throne.
A servant had already brought water and was standing by to serve.
Long Feng helped Yuan Qi to calm down, Hu Yun pinched Yuan Qi's Ren Zhong acupoint, and Chen Yiqu pulled Yuan Qi's legs. The three of them fiddled with it for a long time before they finally woke Yuan Qi up.
Yuan Qi slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the three people, and a feeling of grievance suddenly surged in his heart.
After one night, there were only twelve Iron Hand leaders left, and two of the five generals were gone. The Iron Hand's combat power was almost cut in half.
"God helps Li, not Yuan!!!"
Yuan Qi cried out with a look of grief on his face, covering his chest, wanting to cry but unable to.
The hall masters below were all infected, and suddenly an unspeakable pain lingered in their hearts.
"We haven't even started the battle with Li Cunxi yet, and we've lost so many generals in the Iron Hand Regiment."
"Those bastards in the dark killed so many of us!"
"Why, why would they help Li Cunxi kill our people!"
At this point, how could Yuan Qi not see that these murderers who targeted their Iron Hand Group were most likely following Li Cunxi's orders.
Otherwise, how could so many people come out to attack the Iron Hand Group, since they have never had any mortal enemies?
This doesn't make sense!
Therefore, the real murderer can only be Li Cunxi.
"Master, we just assassinated Li Cunxi a few times, but they treated us like this. They are so petty!"
A hall master had a face full of grief and indignation, as if his wife and daughter had been defiled by Li Cunxi.
He couldn't understand why Li Cunxi couldn't be more generous.
Although the Iron Hand Group did try to assassinate Li Cunxi several times, wasn't Li Cunxi unharmed?
On the contrary, it was their Iron Hand Regiment that suffered repeated casualties.
"We've already suffered such a heavy loss, but Li Cunxi, this petty-minded villain, still refuses to let us go!"
The hall master growled.
Long Feng, Hu Yun and Chen Yiqiu unconsciously looked at the hall master who stood up to appeal for justice.
The man was none other than Gui Jie, the head of the Fourteenth Hall. He held his head high and accused Li Cunxi of being petty-minded.
Hu Yun was speechless, thinking that he should not have gone to assassinate Li Cunxi back then. Now he became like this, he regretted that he should not have accepted the mission to assassinate Li Cunxi.
"That's it, that's all."
"Stop talking, stop talking!"
Yuan Qi covered his face, his brain felt like it was being torn apart by a pair of claws.
He regretted it now, even more than when he first came out of seclusion.
He shouldn't have gone to assassinate Li Cunxi, but now Li Cunxi has taken revenge on him and beaten them to a pulp.
If he had not assassinated Li Cunxi and had not coveted the 200,000 taels of silver, would he be in a different situation now?
"Master, we have no better choice now."
"Otherwise, let's fight them to the death. Let's attack the official ship tonight and assassinate Li Cunxi."
After a long silence, Hu Yun finally spoke.
Yuan Qi glanced at Hu Yun, then turned to Long Feng and Chen Yiqiu, hoping that they could give him some reassurance.
Long Feng rubbed his temples for a long time, then he said in a serious tone:
"Master, I think it may not have reached that point yet."
Yuan Qi closed his eyes, veins throbbing, but he did not get angry immediately. Instead, he suppressed his anger and said:
"Tell me what you think."
"Of course, Long Feng, I hope your proposal will be acceptable to me."
Long Feng said without hesitation:
"Master, you forgot."
"Li Cunxi is a vindictive person who uses his power to bully others."
"He has not used his power to pressure others, and he has not deployed troops to Prince Ying's Palace, which means that Li Cunxi has no definite evidence to prove that Prince Ying's Palace was involved in the Han Canal boat capsizing case."
"In other words, the evidence Li Cunxi obtained is not enough to prove that you were involved in this major case."
"Otherwise, they would have sent troops to arrest you."
Yuan Qi glanced at Hu Yun and gradually accepted Long Feng's words.
Based on his understanding of Li Cunxi, what Long Feng said was correct.
If Li Cunxi really had evidence, the imperial guards would definitely be stationed at Prince Ying's palace by now.
"Well, go on." Yuan Qi nodded.
Long Feng felt more confident, so he continued:
"Only if the evidence Li Cunxi obtained was not enough to incriminate us would he send people to secretly rob and kill our brothers from different halls."
"That's exactly why the brothers died."
Long Feng took one look at the empty seats and simply assumed that everyone was dead.
After all, the ones who were the farthest away came, but the others didn’t. Everyone knows whether they are dead or alive.
"Although Li Cunxi has slaughtered many of our brothers, we cannot take the initiative to attack the official ships."
"Attacking the official ship means death for us. No matter whether we can kill Li Cunxi or not, we will die without a burial place."
"What's worse, your entire family will die in this massacre."
"You don't consider my sister-in-law and my nephews. I can't let this go."
Yuan Qi rubbed his temple fiercely.
He had a headache.
He only thought about revenge, but forgot that the lives of his family depended on him.
If Long Feng hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that such a major case would bring disaster to the entire clan.
"What do you think?"
"We can just lure the snake out of its hole and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Li Cunxi."
"How do you lure the snake out of its hole?"
"You can use Crouching Tiger Manor as a guide."
……
Beigou warehouse.
The bones and rotten flesh had long been cleaned up, and the new group of people who moved in here were none other than the thieves who surrounded and killed the 20th and 21st Halls last night.
The square-faced man took the short man to arrange a group of brothers, then turned back and found Ma Rong, Qiao Tai, Li Chuang and Zhao Tuo.
"Butler Ma." The square-faced man bowed.
"General Zhou Qi." Ma Rong said with a salutation, "General Zhou Qi has gathered several hundred men now."
The square-faced man laughed and looked very proud.
"They all followed the orders of the patriarch, and before we knew it, there were hundreds of brothers following them."
His name is Zhou Qi.
An old general of Duke Huang Li Ai.
In the Bleeding Eagle case, he was also the person in charge of a place. Before clearing out the persons in charge of various areas of the Xilin General Temple, Zhou Qi kidnapped Hasnur and went to Wangwu Mountain to become a bandit.
Only a few years have passed, and Zhou Qi can lead hundreds of people.
After many years, he finally reappeared under the command of Li Cunxi.
"General Zhou has come from afar and made such a great contribution. The head of the family will never forget the general's contribution." Ma Rong said loudly.
"It is natural for me to fight for the master of the family. I dare not expect any credit. Besides, a little credit is not worth mentioning."
Zhou Qi sighed and said:
"I only hope that the head of the family can restore the former glory of the Li family. I will be able to die with peace of mind."
