Thief Emperor

Chapter 26 is so unreasonable!

Shidai County is about one or two hundred miles away from Qingyang County.

Because the distance was quite far, when Gu Er came to Qingyang to get married, he did not get married on the same day. He wanted to take the bride to Shidai first and then get married.

However, this distance is not too far for horse riding.

You can easily get there in one day, and if you travel at night, you can even run back and forth.

At this time, Gu Zhang, his nephew Gu Cheng, and two followers, a total of four people, had just come out of Qingyang and were running along the official road from Qingyang to Shidai.

As for Chief Li, he and his entourage quietly watched the uncle and nephew walk away on the official road outside the city.

After the two of them disappeared, Li Yun and others got up from the roadside tea stall. Several people followed Li Yun and slowly chased in the direction where the uncle and nephew of the Gu family went.

At this moment, the horse that Li Yun borrowed was no longer with him.

Liu Bo followed behind Li Yun, watching the two people going away, and laughed: "Second brother, where did these two people come from? Why are you targeting them?"

Village Chief Li put his hands behind his neck and lazily chased forward, saying calmly, "They scolded me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bo immediately raised his brows and said angrily, "How dare you!"

"Don't worry, second brother. Once we catch these two, I will help you get revenge!"

Chief Li grinned and said, "Although they are not many in number, we still have to be careful and not to capsize in the ditch."

Zhang Hu, who was standing aside, looked calm and whispered, "Don't worry, second brother. We have already deployed our troops. Since we know they are heading to Shidai, there is no reason for them to be lost. We can start as soon as it gets dark."

His eyes were fierce: "Only four people."

Ever since he followed Li Yun and killed several government soldiers last time, Zhang Hu's murderous aura had obviously become stronger. Now, in the entire Cangshan village, only Li Yun could suppress him.

Village Chief Li nodded and said, "With the skinny monkey here, we shouldn't lose him."

Li Yun's horse was ridden by Shouhou. He ran in front, clearing the way for everyone, and by the way, he killed the Gu family members.

The rest of the people were also deployed.

Li Yun and the other three walked on the official road, moving forward slowly.

Li Dazhaizhu walked in the front. After a while, he turned around to look at Liu Bo and Zhang Hu behind him and suddenly asked: "Old Eighth and Old Nine, you..."

"Would you like to start a side job?"

Liu Bo was more savvy and asked, "Second brother, what's your side job?"

"Go to Qingyang and serve as an officer and soldier."

Li Dazhaizhu grinned and said, "Working for the government."

Before Liu Bo could speak, Zhang Hu on the side shook his head angrily: "No!"

"Those damned officers and soldiers only know how to bully the common people. We in Cangshan Village don't even steal the common people's things!"

Li Dazhaizhu laughed in silence and patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder: "Everything is done by people. If you are an officer, you should not oppress the people, right?"

Zhang Hu was a little confused and was about to say something when Liu Bo, who was standing next to him, rolled his eyes.

"Second brother, can we...?"

"It should be fine, but..."

Li Dazhaizhu yawned and said, "Before that, we have to deal with the current matter first."

Now, by chance, Li Yun got in touch with the government... no, it should be Xue Song.

Although there has not yet been an overt alliance or partnership between the two people, in fact, the two are already cooperating.

Now that Li Yun has become the head of Qingyang, he can make use of this identity.

In the future, maybe I can be with Master Xue...

Deepen the cooperation.

…………

into the night.

Skinny Li Zheng rode his horse all the way to Li Yun. After getting off the horse, he stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "Second brother..."

Li Yun patted his shoulder and asked, "Did someone follow us?"

"Yes."

The skinny monkey looked at Li Yun and whispered, "Second brother, at dusk, they stopped traveling and went to an inn in a small town to rest."

Liu Bo frowned slightly: "Pretty cautious."

He looked up at Li Yun and said, "Second brother, what should we do?"

"The town... is it Tangxi Town?"

The skinny monkey nodded and said, "It's Tangxi."

Village Chief Li curled his lips and said, "That's not a small town anymore."

The skinny monkey whispered, "Second brother, if we wait until tomorrow, they will be able to run back to Shidai during the day, and it will be even more difficult to attack them."

Li Dazhaizhu yawned and asked, "Do you know which inn it is?"

"There are only a few inns in Tangxi Town. I've sent someone to follow us in. We'll definitely find it."

"Ah."

Li Dazhaizhu nodded and said lazily: "Let's go and find an inn."…………

Tangxi Town.

When the moon is dark and the wind is high.

The leader Li changed into a new outfit, wrapped his face with a black cloth, and took Liu Bo, Zhang Hu and Shou Hou, a total of four people, and quietly entered Tangxi Town.

The rest of the people were supporting nearby.

Because the town had no city walls, they bypassed the night watchmen and easily arrived at the door of Zhou's Inn in Tangxi Town.

Skinny Li Zheng took out a piece of iron plate from his arms, and slowly opened the bolt of the inn through the gap in the door. After pushing it gently, it still wouldn't move.

He looked back at Li Yun and lowered his voice: "Second brother, there is a door stick."

Village Chief Li looked calm as he looked at Liu Bo and whispered, "Did you remember everything I taught you just now?"

"remember."

Liu Bo nodded.

"it is good."

Li Yun whispered, "Get out of the way."

Everyone quickly made way, and Chief Li took two steps back, then squatted slightly and rushed sideways!
Despite the huge impact, the door bar inside remained intact.

But he knocked the door frame open directly, and pieces of door panels immediately fell off the frame!

The loud noise immediately alarmed the people in the inn, and someone shouted in confusion, "Who is it?"

Li Yun looked calm and lowered his voice: "Do it!"

Liu Bo nodded and shouted, "Erlongzhai is seeking revenge. If you don't want to die, don't meddle in other people's business!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the noise in the inn miraculously disappeared!

Liu Bo and others strode in.

This is an inn in a small town, so there aren't many rooms. In fact, today, apart from the four people from the Gu family, there are only three or four other people living here. Zhang Hu moved quickly, ran directly to the second floor, and kicked one of the rooms open with a fierce kick!
He was lucky, for this was the room where the second young master Gu, Gu Cheng, lived. Zhang Hu already had a torch in his hand, and after lighting it up for a while, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the second young master Gu by his collar.

He was one of the most powerful men in Cangshan Village except Li Yun. He actually lifted Gu Cheng up with one hand. After shining a torch on his face, Zhang Hu grinned and punched Gu Cheng hard in the stomach.

The frail Second Young Master Gu could not bear the pain and fainted from it.

On the other side, Li Yun had already opened several rooms and found Gu Zhang in one of them.

In comparison, Gu Zhang had been around the world before. At this moment, Gu Zhang's sword had been unsheathed and was held in both of his hands.

Li Yun sneered, without even looking at his sword, he picked up a chair in the room and smashed it hard!

He was extremely strong, so the noise he made when he threw the chair was naturally not small. Gu Zhang subconsciously blocked it with his sword, but was knocked to the ground, and the sword in his hand also fell to the ground!
"Help! Help!"

After he cried out in pain, he shouted loudly in fear!

Li Yun didn't even look at him and left.

Liu Bo walked in, quickly knocked Gu Zhang unconscious, and carried him on his shoulders.

The two followers of the Gu family were just errand boys, they had no "combat attributes" and were too timid to come out.

Liu Bo and Zhang Hu each carried a person on their backs and left the inn. After leaving the inn, Liu Bo shouted loudly, "Damn Gu family, they caused heavy casualties in Erlongzhai! If you want to save their lives, bring 5,000 strings of cash to Erlongzhai to redeem them!"

After saying that, the two of them strode away into the night.

The rest of the people in Cangshan Village also evacuated quickly.

In such a big town, everything was so quiet that no one dared to step forward to stop it.

Apparently... this has happened, and not too often.

Li untied the two horses tied outside and walked at the end to prevent any accidents. To his surprise, there was no obstacle during the whole process except for Gu Er who woke up and struggled desperately.

Surprisingly smooth!
After they walked out of the village, Zhang Hu and Liu Bo mounted their horses and left, with Li Yun and the skinny Li Zheng following behind.

"Skinny monkey."

Li Dazhaizhu took off his clothes and threw them into the woods nearby. He patted Li Zheng on the shoulder and whispered.

"After you bring the people back to the village, ride the horses to Erlong Village. Leave the Gu family's horses near Erlong Village and don't bring them back to the village."

"Then, go to Erlong Village and take a look. If there is no one in the village, then..."

Li Yun whispered a few words in his ear and gave a final reminder.

“When they went up the mountain, the two men covered their eyes with cloth.”

The skinny monkey nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, brother. I've got it all down."

He looked up at Li Yun and asked, "Second brother, aren't you going back to the village?"

"Yes, of course."

Li Yun smiled and said, "You ride back first."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll just walk back slowly."
