Chapter 338 Wu Ying Appears

In the room, Li Ye was listening to his father talk about his grandfather's condition.

Because of his grandfather, Li Ye completely fell out with Li Xiu. Li Xiu insisted that it was him who was the instigator behind his back that made his father faint in anger.

The second, third, and fourth sons of the Li family all sided with Li Xiu, and the family naturally favored the eldest son. Under such circumstances, Li Ye no longer went to the Li Mansion, but Li Dai visited his father every day.

Bring some news to Li Ye.

Li Dai held his head in his hands and said with a sad expression: "Your grandfather has completely lost consciousness in his lower body. The imperial doctor said that it will take at least two to three months for us to prepare for the funeral."

Li Ye frowned, "It's so serious that acupuncture can't relieve it?"

"The main reason is that he is old and has always been in poor health. This time it was really too exciting and he couldn't bear it anymore."

Li Dai sighed, "Ye'er, what happened, the boss refused to tell, and you didn't tell either, and your grandfather didn't say anything. Everyone is confused."

"Did they embarrass father?"

“It’s not that they’re embarrassing me, it’s just that I can’t answer their questions!”

Li Ye sneered, "I've already questioned him, but it's still not embarrassing? In my opinion, it's best for the Li family to be divided into two. Li Xiu will be the head of his family, and his father will be the head of the other half."

Li Dai slapped the table and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could you say such bastard words?"

Li Ye shook his head: "These are not stupid words. If Li Xiu becomes the head of the family, everyone in the Li family will be killed by him. If the family is divided, at least the other half can be saved."

Li Dai's eyes showed shock, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Li Ye sighed and said: "This was originally a secret between my grandfather and I. I got a book of prophecies from Zhang Jun's study, which contains his experiences and comments, and even the content of the change of the country. I put this

The book was given to his grandfather, and his grandfather also had control over Zhang Jun, so Zhang Jun did not dare to favor the Yang family.

After his grandfather retired from office, he gave the prophecy book to Li Xiu so that Li Xiu could continue to control it. Unexpectedly, under Zhang Jun's deliberate solicitation, Li Xiu actually returned the prophecy book to Zhang Jun. His grandfather was so angry that he

Passed out."

Li Dai suddenly realized, "No wonder Zhang Jun attacked me at the court meeting last time. It turns out."

"Not only that, the rumors spread in the capital and the government and the public that I am murderous like a demon and kill innocent people indiscriminately are spread behind the scenes by the Zhang family. The Zhang family wants to get rid of my father and me and serve as a proxy for the Yang family."

Li Dai nodded, sighed and said: "To put it this way, Li Xiu is really stupid, but don't mention the separation of the family again in the future."

Li Ye said lightly: "It's useless for me to mention it, but I believe that even if I don't mention it, my grandfather will mention it. The separation of the family is inevitable."

At this time, Pei Sanniang shouted in the yard: "Ye'er, someone is looking for you!"

Li Ye walked out of the room and asked: "Mom, who is looking for me?"

"I don't know him. He said he is the owner of Gaosheng Inn."

Li Ye understood immediately and hurriedly greeted him. At the door was indeed the proprietor Xie of Gaosheng Inn. Li Ye quickly smiled and said: "Welcome proprietor, please come in and talk!"

Dongzhu Xie waved his hand, "I have something urgent to do today. Next time I come to visit General Li and your father, I will tell you something. That Fuping Chief Secretary Mao Ping has appeared."

Li Ye was shocked and asked quickly: "Where is it?"

"At the Gaosheng Inn in Hancheng County, Tongzhou, he showed up yesterday. He had a big beard and his appearance was completely different."

Li Ye said hello to his father and immediately rushed to Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall. He found Zhang Ping and asked him to take a dozen of his men to follow him to Hancheng.

At the same time, Li Ye sent a message to more than thirty bounty hunters in the capital, and Wu Ying appeared at the Gaosheng Inn in Hancheng, Tongzhou, asking them to rush to Hancheng immediately.

The bounty hunters received the news very quickly and immediately mobilized, with countless people rushing to Hancheng County from all directions.

Wu Ying was extremely cunning and would never stay in one place for a long time. Li Ye could almost conclude that Wu Ying would leave Gaosheng Inn soon.

But as long as he has stayed in Hancheng, he will leave clues.

Bounty hunters are all professional pursuers. They are not idiots like Qingshanlou. With them around, they will find Wu Ying no matter where he is hiding.

Three days later, Li Ye and his party arrived in Hancheng. As expected, Wu Ying was no longer at Gaosheng Inn.

He only stayed for two nights, stole fish tags and more than 20 yuan of money, and left overnight. His current whereabouts are unknown.

What Li Ye was most worried about happened. This guy started stealing. He had martial arts skills and it was easy for him to steal a small amount of money. He used to disdain it, but now he has no scruples.

But the shopkeeper still told Li Ye an important clue. Wu Ying once asked him when he could cross the Yellow River.

At present, the Yellow River has just begun to freeze. It is neither possible to sail on the ice nor to walk directly on the ice. You must wait for the ice to completely freeze before you can directly cross the Yellow River on the ice, which will take at least three to five days.

In other words, Wu Ying most likely crossed the river to Hedong. Of course, this could also be a false shot by Wu Ying in preparation for stealing the money and escaping, deliberately misleading the shopkeeper in the direction of pursuit.

Just when Li Ye was at his wits' end, a bounty hunter brought good news. Someone in Huayin County found someone using the name Nie Ying to register for accommodation.

As expected, asking about crossing the river was a cover-up. Wu Ying did not go to Hedong County, but to Huayin County.

Li Ye then led a group of people to turn around and rush to Huayin County.

At dusk in the afternoon, everyone arrived at Huayin County and saw the city wall of Huayin County from a distance. Li Ye smiled at Zhang Ping and said, "Have you ever thought about why Wu Ying came to Huayin County?"

Zhang Ping shook his head, "The head of the family always says that I have a big body and a small brain core. How can I imagine that?"

"Your master is very good at judging people!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "I thought of the place where Wu Ying's father Wu Xin was assassinated."

"Didn't his father die in Tongguan?"

Li Ye shook his head, "His father died at Tongguan Post Station, but Tongguan Post Station is not in Tongguan, but in Huayin County."

"Isn't he here to visit his father's grave?"

Li Ye snorted, "Why sweep the tomb? Wu Xin's body has been transported back to Chang'an, okay?"

Zhang Ping scratched his head and said, "I really didn't expect that."

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said: "Wu Ying's character is to retaliate. When he and his father were released together, it seemed that his father stayed here for two days because of illness. I was wondering if he and his father would be bullied here.

, he came here to avenge this!"

"That makes sense. Why don't you go to the inn first?"

Li Ye nodded, "Go to the inn!"

Everyone speeded up their horses and rushed towards the county seat. Tongguan Post Station was located in the west of Huayin County, covering an area of ​​about ten acres. They were still one mile away from the post station, when they saw a black figure appearing on the wall of the post station. It seemed to be a little injured, and it ran towards the county town like an arrow.

Go, and immediately after, another slender black figure is chasing after him.

"Old Li, is that true?" Zhang Ping asked in shock.

Li Ye immediately decided, "You lead your brothers to block the west gate and close the city gate. Don't let him leave the city. I will block the east gate!"

There are only East City Gate and West City Gate in Huayin County. Li Ye ignored the explanation and galloped towards the East City Gate.

Zhang Ping shouted: "Follow me!"

He took a dozen of his men and turned around and ran towards the west gate.

Li Ye rushed to the east city gate in one breath. He took out the gold medal and shouted to the soldiers guarding the city: "This is the emperor's gold medal. Close the city gate immediately!"

The soldiers were at a loss. At this time, the captain appeared above the city gate. He recognized the emperor's gold medal and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, what happened?"

"If an important criminal wanted by the imperial court is found in the city, close the city gate immediately!"

The captain was startled and quickly ordered: "Close the city gate!"

The city gate creaked shut, and the team leader said again: "I'll go and inform you to close the west city gate again!"

"Thank you very much!"

Li Ye then ordered: "Please summon all the brothers to patrol the city to prevent him from escaping across the city. If there are bounty hunters who want to enter the city, please be sure to let them go!"

"I humbly obey orders!"

As the team was riding away, Li Ye rushed up the city wall and looked down at the city from the top of the city wall.
