Summary of the previous chapter: The children captured by Wei Zhongxian were all imprisoned in Li Zongyu's home, and were watched by Li Yao. Ma Xiaoquan learned that it was Li Yao, and decided to try to win over Li Yao...
In the evening, Li Yao suddenly held his stomach and complained of pain.
Li Zongyu scolded Li Yao and kicked him out of the house. He also threw out a penny and ordered him to get some medicine so that he could make medicine for himself.
Li Yaoxin couldn't even buy a bun, let alone get medicine?
Looking at the closed door, Li Yao stood up and left slowly.
...
In a private house in the capital, Fang Yun stood respectfully next to Ma Xiaoquan, while Ma Xiaoquan sat on an imperial chair with his legs crossed.
Fang Yun worriedly said: "Sir, what if Li Yao doesn't come? Or what if Li Yao tells Li Zongyu about our meeting with him?"
From Fang Yun's point of view, even if Li Yao and Li Zongyu have no good relationship, they are still biological father and son, so Fang Yun's worries are not unreasonable.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "If it's as you feared, the worst we can do is leave. Well, it's so easy to get rid of Wei Zhongxian and King Xin's spies, so we return empty-handed. I always feel empty in our hearts."
Just as he was talking, the door of the private house suddenly opened with a creak.
Fang Yun looked up and saw that it was Li Yao, and said happily: "Sir, Li Yao is here!"
Ma Xiaoquan also saw Li Yao, stood up and gave him his hands: "Brother Li, you're fine, hehe!"
Fang Yun stepped forward and looked behind Li Yao to make sure no one was following him, then Fang Yun closed the door.
Ma Xiaoquan pointed to the stool in front of him and said politely: "Brother Li, please sit down! Fang Yun, give Brother Li a glass of water. Haha, Brother Li, I'm sorry, this is a temporary place, so there is no tea!"
Li Yao nodded, took the water glass from Fang Yun's hand, and said, "Brother Ma, you're welcome. I'm here today just to hear what Brother Ma has to say."
"Haha, it's easy to talk. Since Brother Li is here, it's naturally good. Well, let me get straight to the point. Brother Li, if I ask you to help me, are you willing?"
Li Yao chuckled and said nothing.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "I'm afraid it's impossible to ask Brother Li to help me for nothing. Well, then I also promise Brother Li that if Brother Li is of any use to me, Ma, just ask!"
Li Yao snorted and sneered: "Ma Xiaoquan, you are no better than before. You have no real power in your hands, and now you have taken refuge in King Xin. How can you help me?"
"Presumptuous!" Fang Yun looked at Li Yao angrily.
Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to stop it and said with a smile: "Brother Li only saw the surface but not the essence. It is really a pity."
Although Li Yao was born in martial arts and seems to have strong limbs, he is not a simple-minded person: "How do you say this?"
"Haha, before I say anything, let me ask Brother Li, how is the relationship between your father, Li Zongyu, and you?"
Li Yao's eyes were cold and he said nothing.
Ma Xiaoquan and Fang Yun looked at each other, and the latter said: "Brother Li, my master actually knows a lot."
Li Yao raised his head and said, "Do you know the relationship between me and my father?"
Ma Xiaoquan said nothing and nodded with a smile.
In fact, Ma Xiaoquan didn't know the specific relationship between Li Yao and Li Zongyu. He was betting that Li Yao would tell Fang Yun about his relationship with Li Zongyu.
Li Yao looked at Ma Xiaoquan for a long time. He was smiling all the time and could not see any flaws. After a while, Li Yao lowered his head and sighed: "I am his illegitimate son, Li Zongyu. To be precise, he killed me."
Mom, my mother gave birth to me... He has always treated me like a dog from the beginning to the end... What's even more annoying, he killed my mother and my master...
..”
Fang Yun's eyes widened and he almost screamed in surprise. Ma Xiaoquan glared at him in time, and Fang Yun quickly lowered his head.
Li Yao raised his head and looked at Ma Xiaoquan, who frowned slightly and seemed to know everything he just said.
"What should I do?" Li Yao asked Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Brother Li, I'm not you. I don't know your thoughts and ideas, but if I were you, I would take revenge! Of course, I would do such a thing to kill my own father with my own hands."
He won't come out, but let him get the retribution he deserves. This is the law of heaven!"
Li Yao flattened his mouth, nodded heavily, and hummed.
"What are you going to do?" Li Yao suddenly asked.
Ma Xiaoquan and Fang Yun looked at each other and said with a smile: "It's very simple, I need you to help me save one person from the group of children you saw!"
"Who?" Li Yao looked at Ma Xiaoquan alertly, "Why not save them all?"
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged helplessly: "It would be great if I could save them all, but with my current ability, even if I save them all, I may not be able to hide them. On the contrary, it would be self-defeating. Moreover, if those
If the children are gone, you, Li Yao, will inevitably be involved!"
Li Yao nodded: "Then who are you going to save?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and took out a portrait of a child from his arms and handed it to Li Yao: "This is the person you want to help me save!"
Li Yao unfolded the portrait and took a look, squinted and said, "This is the younger brother of Haoyuexuan's old madam Sister Cui? Ma Xiaoquan, what on earth are you going to do?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "You don't need to ask more about this. If you want me to help you, then you have to help me first!"
"Hmph, it's all nonsense. Why are you so confident that I will definitely help you?"
Ma Xiaoquan said calmly: "Because you have no other choice!"
Li Yao was silent, and after a while he exhaled and said: "You are right, I have no other choice, Ma Xiaoquan, I hope I made the right bet this time, I helped you save this child, what are you doing?"
When is the time?"
"Of course, the faster, the better!" Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand.
"Okay, then the day after tomorrow, I will still be here. I will hand over the person to you. Of course, I also hope that you can help me accomplish what I want to do!"
"Haha, of course, Li Yao, let me say it again, my ability is far more powerful than you think!"
"Huh, farewell!" Li Yao cupped his hands, stood up and left.
After Li Yao left, Fang Yun said: "Sir, can Li Yao be trusted?"
Ma Xiaoquan said: "Don't doubt people when you doubt them, don't doubt when you employ people. Although Li Yao is not as good as you, he is still a usable person. Of course, your position in my heart is irreplaceable!"
Fang Yun nodded, thinking that you have your lord, this proves that I am still a very important confidant in your heart.
...
Li Yao returned home, holding a small bag of herbal medicine in his hand. As soon as he walked in, Li Zongyu saw it and cursed: "Beast, I asked you to buy medicine for only one penny. It took you so long to buy it. Do you want to die?"
