Thief Emperor

Chapter 101 The Face of the Aristocratic Family
With Li Yun's intelligence, he could naturally guess why the two followers around Cui Shao suddenly attacked him.

Not hard to guess.

It was most likely this Envoy Cui, who heard about the bandit suppression in Qingyang from somewhere these few days, and through this incident, he heard of the name of Qingyang Li Yun.

Therefore, he wanted to test Li Yun to see if the Qingyang captain who was rumored to be able to defeat a hundred bandits alone was really that capable.

Therefore, he directly ordered his followers to attack Li Yun.

If the two followers beat Li Yun, Cui Shijun would not even look at Li Yun again, otherwise...

This unknown Qingyang captain really beat the two good fighters he brought with him, which means he really has some skills and he can be considered to be accepted as a "dog".

For Cui Shao, this was more like a gift given out as alms.

Because they were dogs for the Cui family, or to put it another way.

Being a retainer of the Cui family is indeed something that countless people dream of.

After seeing through Governor Cui's thoughts, Li Yun became furious. Before Master Xue could react and stop him, he had already rushed forward!
When it comes to other things, such as official affairs, he may be somewhat immature, but he is good at fighting!

Mr. Li has been practicing since he was a child, and this skill has long been ingrained in his bones.

He was not afraid of anyone!

After Li rushed out, he first avoided the right side and attacked to the left side. His attack process was simple and unpretentious. He punched the opponent directly in the face with a straight punch.

After dodging the punch sideways, Li Yun did not hesitate and punched the enemy directly in the chest. The man sensed the power of the punch and quickly blocked it with both hands, but was knocked back four or five steps by the huge force before he stopped.

"Good strength!"

He couldn't help but praise him, and then said: "This move should be a variation of the spear technique. It seems that Li Dutou learned how to use the spear."

A gun is actually an extension of the arm, so as long as you are good at gun skills, your boxing and kicking skills will generally not be too bad.

Li Yun was so angry that he had no intention of discussing gun skills with him. After knocking the enemy away with a punch, he ignored the other enemy rushing towards him and continued to rush towards the unstable enemy, punching him hard in the heart with a straight punch!
The man's face changed drastically.

If this punch lands on him, he will most likely die right here!
But it was too late to dodge. He tried hard to move his body, but was hit on the shoulder by Li Yun's real punch!

The sound of broken bones seemed to be heard, and the man screamed and fell to the ground!
Li Yun was just about to rush forward to give another kick, but another person had already come from the flank and punched Li Yun in the back. Li Dadu shook his head as if he was unaware, then changed his target and rushed towards the man.

Compared to the first person, this person's boxing skills are obviously much more advanced. No matter how fierce Li Yun's fist is, he can always avoid Li Yun's attack by moving and circling around.

When Li Yun rushed in front of him for the fifth time, he finally found his weakness. Li Dutou reached out and grabbed his collar, then slammed into him fiercely, knocking the master away!

Like a kite with its string broken.

It was not until this time that Master Xue's voice reached Li Yun's ears: "Stop, stop!"

Only then did Li Yun stop.

However, because of his ruthless attack, the two people in front of him were already lying on the ground, and both were seriously injured. The former's arm was definitely broken, and in this era, it was still very difficult to determine whether it could be cured. Even if it could be cured, this arm would probably leave some sequelae.

As for the other person.

He was hit hard by the furious Li Yun!
Although Li Yun was not particularly heavy, he was extremely strong. After being hit sideways like this, he was now lying on the ground, coughing up blood.

It must have hurt my heart!
This is a lifelong problem, and it is unclear whether such a serious injury can be cured.

Magistrate Xue was also very particular. He did not call for a stop until Li Yun had finished beating someone and was about to kill him. The magistrate of Qingyang glared at Cui Shao.

"Envoy Cui!"

Master Xue's hands were shaking with anger: "What do you mean by this? Bringing people to Qingyang and directly attacking my Qingyang's chief?!"

Envoy Cui, who had already gotten off the carriage, clapped his hands slowly. He looked at Li Yun, smiled instead of getting angry, and said, "He is really fierce, just like the rumors say."

He didn't even look at the two followers who were already lying on the ground, but just turned around to look at Shuisheng who was following beside them. Shuisheng immediately understood and asked people to carry the two men away.

Envoy Cui looked at Li Yun, clapped his hands and smiled, "With such abilities, it is really a waste of talent for you to be a captain in Qingyang. Captain Li, please follow me from now on."

He smiled and said, "Once you join our Cui family, your whole generation will have a place to stay."

At this moment, Envoy Cui raised his head slightly and looked at Li Yun, as if he had bestowed a great favor on him.

But what he said was indeed true.

These thousand-year-old families do have some "retainers". Although their number is small, they really follow them from generation to generation.

As the aristocratic families prospered, these people would have a place to stay for generations. For example, Shuisheng was born and raised in the Cui family. Some of these people were given the surname Cui if they were liked by the head of the family.

This kind of thing is indeed a reward for people of this era.

But for Li Yun, it only made him angrier.

Li Dutou stood there, took a breath of relief, and said, "Envoy Cui, our county lord is asking you, why did you fight without explanation as soon as you met?"

Cui Shao frowned slightly, then looked at Xue Song, and then said calmly: "I heard that Li Dutou is extremely brave, so the two of us who practice martial arts were excited to see the prey, so we fought with Li Dutou."

"It was Cui who failed to discipline us strictly."

Li Yun narrowed his eyes and was about to speak again, but Xue Song had already silently blocked his way. Magistrate Xue took a deep breath and said, "Since we are going to compete, you should have said it in advance. It's so reckless. The Cui family's tutor..."

Cui Shao's expression changed slightly.

For these children of aristocratic families, the most important thing is naturally to maintain the existence of the family, and the second most important thing is to maintain the dignity of the family!
Now Xue Song was actually making up stories about the Cui family's tutoring right in front of him!

He looked at Xue Song with a dim gaze.

"Xue Zhixian, what happened to our Cui family's tutor?"

Mr. Xue snorted and didn't continue speaking.

Cui Shao put his hands behind his back, looked up at the county government office in front of him, and said calmly, "We have already arrived in Qingyang. County Magistrate Xue, would you like to invite me into the county government office for a visit?"

Xue Song still stood in front of Li Yun and made a gesture of invitation: "Please come in, sir."

Only then did Cui Shao put his hands behind his back and swagger into the county government office with his family members.

After they all entered the county government office, Li Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "I only heard from the young lady before that these people from thousand-year-old families are arrogant and overbearing. I thought they were at most like the Gu family. Today I finally saw it for myself."

Master Xue looked back at Li Yun, took a deep breath, and said, "No matter what, you have to hold back and don't do anything rash."

Li Yun smiled: "Don't worry, County Master. I am the head of Qingyang. How can I make things difficult for him in this Qingyang area?"

Xue Song nodded first, then glanced at the county government office and whispered, "He may have come here for you. I know you are arrogant. Even if you reject him later, don't make things too awkward."

"understood."

…………

In the main hall of the county government office where guests are received.

Envoy Cui sat leisurely in the main seat. After lowering his head to drink a sip of tea, he frowned slightly, swallowed the first sip, and put the tea back.

Then he kept frowning slightly.

Mr. Xue sat below him, looked at Cui Shao, and asked, "If the envoy has anything to do, he can just send a letter to Qingyang. Why did you come here in person?"

"I came to Qingyang to visit the counties of Xuanzhou. Otherwise, I would be unqualified as the governor."

"Secondly..."

He said calmly, "There is a bandit problem in Xuanzhou. I want to solve this problem to benefit the people. I heard that Li Zhao from Qingyang is very brave and has achieved great results in suppressing the bandits, so I came to take a look."

"After arriving in Qingyang County, we really didn't see any bandits."

He looked at Master Xue and said with a smile, "Xue Magistrate, I want to transfer this captain of yours to the state for a few days to help me suppress the bandits. What do you think?"

Master Xue looked back at Li Yun, then shook his head and said, "Envoy, Li Zhao is from Qingyang. He came back to Qingyang from another place to visit his family. The reason he was appointed as the head of Qingyang was to do something for the people of his hometown."

"I'm afraid he won't agree to go to Xuanzhou."

Li Yun was standing next to him and said, "I really don't agree."

"I heard that Captain Li and Magistrate Xue, father and daughter, have a very good relationship."

Envoy Cui subconsciously wanted to drink tea. After picking up the teacup, he put it back and said with a smile.

"Li Dutou will go to the state to help, and I will immediately write to the capital to withdraw the impeachment of County Magistrate Xue."

"What does Magistrate Xue think?"
