Thief Emperor

Chapter 29 A divine being descends from the sky!

"Chen Da!"

Among the yamen runners, Li Yun was only familiar with this one person, so he called him over. Chen Da had received benefits from Li Yun last time and made a small profit, so he could be said to be "loyal" at this moment. When Li Yun called him, he immediately trotted over.

"Boss, you're looking for me?"

Among all the yamen runners in Qingyang County, few of them truly recognized Li Yun as the head of the yamen. Chen Da was one of the few.

Li rolled his eyes, patted Chen Da on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I am going out on an official business trip under the order of the county lord. You pick another person, and the three of us will go."

At this point, he paused and said, "Pick someone smarter and younger."

"Hey."

Chen Da responded and quickly went down to find a thin young man. After bringing him to Li Yun, he introduced him, "Boss, this is my childhood friend. He also works in the government. His surname is Huang, and his name is Huang Yong."

"We all call him Dayong."

Li Yun took a look at the young man in front of him with clear eyes. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He smiled and asked, "Take over the job from your family?"

"Yes."

Huang Yong nodded honestly and said, "My father passed away last year. He worked as a government official all his life..."

"Ah."

Village Chief Li nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go, pack our stuff and set off."

The two men responded and put on their weapons. It was not until they followed Li Yun out of the city that Chen Da finally remembered to ask, "Boss, where are we going?"

"Let's go to Erlong Mountain."

Li Dazhaizhu smiled kindly and said, "A few days ago, a group of bandits from Erlongzhai were so bold that they kidnapped two people from the Gu family in Shidai in Tangxi. Let's go to Erlongshan and investigate the situation."

"what?"

Chen Da stopped and looked up at Li Yun: "Boss, this... this..."

"We're just going with three people?"

Li Yun smiled dumbly: "What's wrong with three people?"

Chen Da had a bitter face: "There are dozens of people in those mountain villages. What can the three of us do..."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Li Dazhaizhu patted Chen Da on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm not asking you to wipe out the village. We are just going to investigate the situation. If we have too many people, we will alert the enemy."

"Just follow me, I won't let you suffer any loss."

Li Yun had already become famous in Qingyang. Apart from anything else, his record of killing four strong men almost instantly that day had already been passed down as miraculous.

With the presence of Li Yun, a "great master", Chen Da and the other man felt a little relieved and followed Li Yun all the way towards Erlong Mountain.

The journey was dozens of miles long, and the three of them didn't arrive at a village at the foot of Erlong Mountain until the next day.

After revealing their identities, several people inquired and found out that Erlong Village was deserted, but the people of Erlong Village were still hiding in the dark, so no one dared to go into the village.

In the evening, the village chief personally found an empty house for the three people to stay in.

After the three of them had a simple meal, the village chief Li yawned and said, "We are on a business trip. There may be thieves hiding nearby. We can't slack off. Let's take turns to keep watch."

"I always like to sleep late. You two go to bed first. I'll call you to change shifts after midnight."

Li Dadu was the leader, so naturally they had to do whatever he said. Chen Da and Huang Yong both responded and went into the house to sleep.

Li Yun sat outside the house, lit a bonfire, and roasted the game that the village chief had given him.

In this way, time passed little by little, and near midnight, the skinny Li Zheng quietly appeared next to Li Yun.

At this moment, the room was filled with snoring.

Li Yun gave him a look, and the skinny monkey quickly understood. He went to the window to listen for a while, then returned to Li Yun and whispered, "Second brother, everyone should be asleep."

Li Yun tore off a roasted rabbit leg from his hand, handed it to Li Zheng, and asked, "Is everything done?"

"rest assured."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "I gave two doses of medicine to the two grandsons of the Gu family. They will not wake up until tomorrow night. Brother Hu is bringing people to send them to Erlong Village."

Li Yun nodded and asked, "Has all the money been moved back?"

"Of course."

Speaking of money, the skinny monkey's eyes lit up and he laughed: "Second brother is really amazing, I have never seen so much cash in my life..."

"You look like a loser."

Chief Li rolled his eyes at Li Zheng and looked up at Erlong Mountain.

After a while, he spoke: "After sending the people away, you, Hu Zi and Liu Bo, go back to our Cangshan Mountain immediately. With this money, the village can stop working for at least half a year. When I am not in the village, no one is allowed to go down the mountain to do private work."

Li Yun urged, "Everything will be discussed after I return to the village." Li Zheng nodded and asked, "Second brother, when are you going back to the village?"

"Not in a hurry."

Li Yun tore off half of the rabbit and handed it to him, saying with a smile: "I'll run around outside a little more and find some good jobs for our village."

"I am your brother."

Mr. Li looked at the fire in front of him and said with a smile, "We can walk outside openly now."

…………

In the second half of the night, Li Yun woke up his two younger brothers and went into the house to take a nap.

When it was bright the next day, the three people got up one after another. After getting up, Li Dazhaizhu stretched his muscles, then looked up at Erlong Mountain and said with a smile: "The county master asked us to come here to investigate the news, so let's go to Erlong Mountain to take a look. Anyway, the villagers said that there is no one in the village."

"We, the officials, will go up and take a look. First, we will give an explanation to the county magistrate, and second, we will give an explanation to the people living near Erlong Mountain, so that they know that our government has been here."

Chen Da couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you are really capable!"

Village leader Li stretched his body, took his two younger brothers to the village chief's house for breakfast, and then went up Erlong Mountain under the watchful eyes of all the villagers.

Even so, the villagers all praised it, saying that it was rare to see officials who could get practical work done.

Erlong Mountain is not a particularly high mountain, and Erlong Village is just halfway up the mountain. Li Yun grew up in the mountains, so climbing this kind of mountain can be said to be easy for him.

By the time Chen Da and Huang Yong arrived at the gate of the village, they were already gasping for breath.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, Li Yun stopped, drew his sword from his waist, looked at the marks on the ground, and his face became serious: "There are new footprints."

"Someone has been here, at least..."

He “carefully” distinguished and said solemnly, “It was still there last night!”

"Draw the sword."

Chen Da and Huang Yong both swallowed their saliva and quickly drew the swords at their waists. Both of their hands were shaking.

"call out!"

A crossbow arrow broke through the air and shot straight at Li Yun!

Li Yun subconsciously turned sideways to avoid the feather arrow, and felt a chill in his heart!

It was not until this time that he realized that someone had indeed entered the village!
Moreover, it is definitely not Skinny Liu Bo and his gang!

At this time, the people who went to Erlong Mountain probably thought that the affairs of the Gu family had been leaked, and their colleagues nearby came to extort money!

Li Yun and his two companions were all dressed in black official uniforms, so they would naturally be attacked by these bandits!
Li Yun took a quick look and soon saw the traces of two or three people. He shouted in a low voice: "There are thieves, follow me!"

The crossbow arrow needs to be strung!
After one shot, the time it takes to shoot the next one is longer than drawing the bow!
Village leader Li held the knife in one hand, and with powerful explosive force he suddenly leaped out and pounced on those figures.

The two or three men looked at each other, and seeing that the government troops were few in number, they did not leave, but rushed up to meet Li Yun and the other two!

Village leader Li changed his one-handed sword into a two-handed sword, and when the time was right, he chopped it down fiercely!
He was fast and ruthless. The knife was already at his face before the enemy could react. He was so scared that he rolled off the ground and narrowly avoided the knife!

What Li Yun wanted was for him to dodge, so the force of his knife suddenly changed and swept across the other person!
The man blocked with his sword, but his strength was far inferior to Li Yun's, and the weapon in his hand was knocked away!
Li Yun stepped forward and mercilessly kicked him in the chest, causing him to lose his fighting ability.

As for the last person, he had just rushed in front of Li Yun, but was glared at by Li Yun and was so scared that he turned around and ran away!

Chief Li caught up with him in two or three steps and kicked him to the ground.

The man who had fallen down had already climbed up and raised his knife to chop at Li Yun. Chief Li became furious and threw the long knife in his hand directly, scratching the thief's arm!

Blood splattered all over Li Yun.

Li Dazhaizhu didn't care about these three people. He picked up his knife, turned back to look at Chen Da and the other man, and shouted in a low voice: "Tie them up!"

He walked towards the only intact building in Erlongzhai and kicked open the door without hesitation.

At this time, the uncle and nephew of the Gu family, who were tied up in the room, had just been awakened by the sound of fighting and were still a little confused.

In a daze, they saw the door suddenly open and light shine in.

In the dazzling light, a young man dressed in white clothes, covered in blood, and looking majestic, kicked open the door and strode towards them.

Like a god.

This divine man has a clear voice.

"Is it Gu Zhang or Gu Cheng from the Gu family?"

"I am Li Zhao, the head of Qingyang. I am here to rescue you. You..."

There was concern and warmth in the voice, which made the tortured uncle and nephew feel like crying for a moment.

"Are you okay?"
