The expression on Li Cheng's face was stiff for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the county lord would still have such a mind, which makes me feel inferior."

"That's natural." Jay Chou nodded, not humble at all. "The county lord is dedicated to serving the people, and it was the same in Jiangnan before. I believe you have heard of the county lord's kindness in Jiangnan to raise funds to help the victims."

Seeing that the expression on Jay Chou’s face was obviously from the bottom of his heart and was very sincere. After seeing this, Li Cheng’s mouth twitched.

Who doesn’t know that behind the incident in Jiangnan was the eldest princess’ plan, just to clean up Gu Ning’s reputation. Fortunately, the person in front of him actually took it as the leader of the princess’ personal guard. It’s ridiculous!

Li Cheng's face remained silent, and after saying a few words to Zhou Jie, he quickly left.

He rode on the horse with an unpredictable expression.

When he arrived at the Li Mansion, he saw the gorgeous carriage on the side door. He came to his senses, frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "Is Mother back?"

"Madam has been waiting for you for a long time." The servant smiled embarrassedly, "Let you go to the backyard to find her."

After hearing this, Li Cheng turned around and wanted to leave.

But a woman walked out of the side door, and a pair of hanging eyes that were quite similar to Li Cheng were staring at him: "You don't even listen to my words?"

Li Cheng showed impatience, but he did not dare to show it completely in front of the woman, so he could only get off the horse: "Mother, it's all clichés, you don't have to care."

"I heard that the county lord went to Lihua Village?" Mrs. Li's eyes were always harsh. "Don't you realize the seriousness of the matter yet?"

When he heard the three words "Lihua Village", Li Cheng hurriedly ran forward and took Mrs. Li's hand, and whispered, "Mom, be careful that there are ears in the wall."

"If you know how to be prepared, you won't do those things!" Mrs. Li sneered and waved Li Cheng's hand away, "Follow me!"

Li Cheng looked bitter. He was not willing to deal with Mrs. Li at all. However, Mrs. Li's eyes were like a sharp knife, and he dared not refuse to obey, so he could only move forward carefully.

Several clusters of flowers in the backyard are in excellent bloom, which is in sharp contrast to the bleak autumn scenery.

As soon as he saw these clusters of flowers, Li Cheng's expression changed.

Mrs. Li glanced at him: "What? I know you're scared now? How many times did I advise you? If you want to play with women, there are so many flowers in the flower building, why do you always keep staring at those folk girls?"

Although she was blaming Li Cheng, she obviously only blamed the trouble Li Cheng brought to her, rather than pitying the women who fell into Li Cheng's hands.

Li Cheng lowered his head, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his face, which looked honest and honest.

The girls in the flower building have been tempered and cannot achieve the effect they want. What he likes is the way those folk girls are constantly struggling under them.

"Okay, now the Lord of Changning has been taken to Lihua Village by that little girl Chu Shiling. What do you want to do?" Mrs. Li snorted coldly, "Is it because she wants to sit and wait for death?"

When Li Cheng heard this, his eyes shone brightly: "Mother! I knew you must have a solution!"

Mrs. Li glanced at him coldly and said lightly: "If you can promise me that I will never touch those folk girls again in the future, I can clean the tail of this matter for you. If you can't agree... Then I will

I can only deal with the scum of your family with my own hands! I will avoid the whole family being implicated by you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng shrank his neck.

In Mrs. Li's cold eyes, he was very reluctant: "It's just a few civilian women who can be dispossed with some money. Why does my mother always hold on to her?"

"I'll hold it?" Mrs. Li sneered, "Have you forgotten those families? They were not bribed by you with money! Five years have passed, but they still have no trace!"

"It's all the boy of the Zhang family!" Li Cheng gritted his teeth, "If it weren't for this fish that missed the net, I wouldn't be worried! He ran away and even encouraged the two families to escape together!"

Thinking of this, murderous aura emerged in Li Cheng's eyes.

"Zhang Yang this person, if I see him again, I will definitely tear him to pieces!"

Mrs. Li glanced at him and turned upwards

"You have been looking for Zhang Yang for five years, but you haven't found his whereabouts. You'd better pray that he will die at the hands of those bandits."

Li Cheng carefully approached Mrs. Li and pounded her shoulders attentively: "Mother, can't you help me talk to Princess Changle? Let her take care of Chu Shiling well! If it weren't for Chu Shiling, the dead woman.

After so many things have happened, why should I worry about it here?"

"Children are all debts!" ​​Mrs. Li waved his hand angrily, and a cold smile appeared on her face that was well-maintained, "Don't worry, Chu Shiling will be our Li family's daughter-in-law in the future, I will never do it.

Let her do something that harms the Li family."

After hearing this, Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and took out an exquisite hairpin from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Mother, this is the hairpin I specially found for you at the Jade Pavilion. Such a good jade hairpin will be the best match for you!

"

Mrs. Li put her hairpin in her palm, looked it carefully, and suddenly she laughed, her eyes were cold: "Li Cheng, you'd better be obedient. I know the beauty of the Changning County Lord.

, but you must not have anything to do with her! The eldest princess is not that easy to deal with!"

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng smiled dungeon: "No matter how beautiful the Lord of Changning County is, I will not look at her more. Now what I want is to marry Chu Shiling into the house earlier."

It was obviously a marriage matter, but when it came out of Li Cheng's mouth, there was a chilling chill.

Mrs. Li took the hairpin in her hand, stared at him a few times, and reminded her: "Remember what you said today, when you marry Chu Shiling into the door, I will send you all the beauties you want!

If you can’t marry Chu Shiling, then you should think about what to do next!"

"The mine veins of our Li family have been dug almost the same." Mrs. Li patted Li Cheng's shoulder, full of threats, "As a child of the Li family, you should consider it for the family."

Li Cheng nodded like pounding garlic, but as soon as Mrs. Li left, he wanted to sneak out of Li's mansion.

Unexpectedly, a servant had been waiting at the door. When he saw Li Cheng appear, he gritted his teeth and blocked the door: "Second Young Master, the wife has given him the order, you can't leave the house in the past few days!"

"Why?" Li Cheng raised his eyebrows coldly, lifted up his sleeves and started fighting against several servants.

One of the servants looked pale, but he insisted on speaking: "Madam said, if you go out to make trouble again, she will break your third leg!"

As soon as the words fell, a heavy punch came to the servant's face.

However, when facing Li Cheng in anger, several servants insisted on guarding the door and refused to let Li Cheng leave the mansion for half a step.

Li Cheng's eyes were so angry that his eyes were red, but he didn't dare to believe what these servants said.

No one knows better what his stepmother is. When it comes to being vicious, he is just one or two of hers!

So, after a moment of silence, Li Cheng turned his head and walked towards the backyard.

At the same time, night gradually enveloped Lihua Village.

Several men in black almost merged into the night. Their arrival did not attract the attention of the villagers of Lihua Village. Even the always-agile dog was lying on the ground and slept just in time.

They pulled out the knife at their waists, and the sharp blade shone with a cold light under the moonlight.

"The master has given me the order, be sure to get rid of all the people in this village! Never leave a living mouth!"

"clear!"

Just as they were about to break into Lihua Village and start a massacre, a sudden burst of dog barking sounded, and then the dogs in the whole village were barking wildly, deafening, and even those who had died of sleep were awakened.

They were stunned for a moment, and soon came to their senses, swung their swords and slashed at the woman who was going out to check the situation.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow struck through the night sky and passed through his chest.

Then, several sharp arrows were shot out, accurately on their chests. They didn't know who shot the cold arrows behind them until they died.

One after another, the lights lit up, but when they went out to check, the fallen body had already been quietly moved away, and the blood on the ground was covered by heavy snow.

The old man walked out of the warm room and looked at the flat snow in front of him.

A moment later, another person walked out behind him.

The man's skin was almost transparent and had an unhealthy blush under the dim light.

"Grandpa Zhang, what are you looking at?"

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Zhang raised his head and saw that the young man who was already one head taller than him showed doubts. He shook his head: "Xiao Yang, haven't I told you? You must not show up without my instructions.

"

"I've been in the cellar for several days." Zhang Yang sighed, "If the county lord hadn't suddenly come to the door, I wouldn't have been hiding for so long."

Hearing the disgust in his words, Village Chief Zhang sighed: "Xiao Yang, you shouldn't think so. The county lord of Xinyue has a simple personality, but she has a kind heart. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid you

The Zhang family can't even protect your bloodline."

Zhang Yang showed dissatisfaction, but under the scolding of Village Chief Zhang, he nodded undeniably: "You are right in the village chief, but I can't put my hope on her. People like her are just afraid of

Li Cheng was deceived by one or two words."

Village Chief Zhang wanted to refute, but had to swallow his breath. He shook his head: "What you said makes sense. She is indeed not a person who can do big things."

However, halfway through his words, he said, "But I think that the Changning County Lord is a good helper."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes. After a moment of silence, he nodded slowly: "I heard that the Lord of Changning County is dedicated to serving the people. He spent a lot of money to resettle refugees in Jiangnan, and there was a eldest princess behind her.

"

"No," said Village Chief Zhang, then swept away the snow with a crutch, and the frozen blood stains below changed Zhang Yang's expression.

"They are here!" Zhang Yang nervously grabbed Village Chief Zhang's hand and wanted to warn him.

Village Chief Zhang waved his hand: "They are all dead."

A trace of clarity appeared in his turbid eyes: "I just saw clearly that they were all killed. I am afraid that those who helped us were sent by the Lord of Changning."

"The three thousand personal guards left by the eldest princess to her by the eldest princess are indeed capable of competing with the Li family." Zhang Yang's eyes flashed slightly, and he finally made up his mind.

"Grandpa Zhang, I'm going out in a few days." Zhang Yang whispered, "I have to find a way to get in touch with the Lord of Changning."

Village Chief Zhang looked at him and suddenly stuffed a jade pendant into his hands: "This is what the Lord Changning County left when he left. If you want to see her, you might as well use this jade pendant as a token."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang looked happy and immediately put the jade pendant in his hand.

It was snowing heavily, but Zhang Yang didn't feel cold. He wrapped his cotton coat tightly and was about to walk out.

Village Chief Zhang hesitated for a moment and shouted softly: "Be careful on the road, don't be seen by others!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Zhang." Zhang Yang smiled, "I will definitely be careful."

After he said that, his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Village Chief Zhang sighed quietly when he saw his back as he left.

"Old woman, is it right or wrong for me to do this?" Village Chief Zhang looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and tears appeared in his turbid eyes.

But after a moment of sadness, his expression became firmer again.
