C20 Stand-off

Mo Qingfeng led the howling Qin Liehu all the way back to the Dragon Sword Villa.

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but furrow their brows.

Tai An, who was at the door, was muttering furiously with his head down. When he saw them coming, he reopened his entangled facial features. Qin Xiao was amused. Why did the people of the Dragon Sword Villa have such acting skills? Look at how their faces were so full of emotion. They couldn't even compare to the talents of the emperor's old palace. She stomped her foot and stomped on Tai An's chin. Just as she was about to tease him again, Mo Qingfeng raised his foot and kicked him into the flowerless flower bed.

"Amber, is something wrong?" Mo Qingfeng was like a frightened bird. Just a slight movement would cause anyone to feel uneasy in their hearts. "Uhh!

Although Tai An was very dissatisfied with his age being "taken advantage of", he was already accustomed to Qin Xiao's abnormal behavior. No matter who she was, he could only anxiously say: "Second Master, it's not good!"

When Qin Xiao heard this, his heart trembled. He suddenly jumped out from the flower bed and kicked Mo Qingfeng away: "Did something happen again?"

"The government has sent troops again! This time, it was the men from the hussar's mansion. The manor lord was currently meeting with them at the Gatherer Hall. I think there will be no good occasion for us to meet. "

When Qin Xiao heard this, he jumped up in excitement and ran away.

Mo Qingfeng, who was upside down, had no time to wipe the dirt off his body to chase after her. He secretly cursed himself for wanting to carry this dead man up the tree even though his qinggong was so good, and he didn't even know if he was taking advantage of him or not.

Qin Xiaoliu let out a long roar: "Mo Qingfeng! Hurry up, you dead snail! Where is the Ju Yi Hall? Why can't I find it again! "

Inside the hall of the Ju Yi Hall, Dan Rong Rui looked at the man in gold and grey armor with a stern expression.

Li Hui was dressed in a military uniform. He had a round neck and a long robe, which made his appearance even more eye-catching. Even though they were not on the battlefield, they still wore bright armor made from fish scales, and the tiger helmet on their chests looked ferocious and mighty. He wore a hood, and his face was dark. His eyes were like torches, and they shone with a deep wisdom. Sitting majestically and looking into his eyes, he gave off a natural sense of oppression, causing people to unconsciously feel reverence towards him. It was not in vain that he produced such an awe-inspiring killing intent from his military career, as if he was a completely different person from the eagle claws grandsons he normally saw.

Dan Rong Rui had always respected heroes, so she didn't loathe his gaze. She sat upright on the seat of the master and asked in a tepid voice: "May I ask why Great General Husband has come to my place?"

Li Hui saw that his response was neither servile nor overbearing. Indeed, he had the domineering aura and majesty of a tyrant of his generation. He was a rare man! A mutual understanding arose in his heart, and he decisively said: "I have long heard that the Manor Lord is righteous and generous, so I don't need to beat around the bush. For the five boxes of tribute for the princess' one thousand years old, does the owner know her whereabouts? " Although his words were polite, the underlying meaning was extremely clear. It seemed like he had no way of escaping the suspicion.

Laifu, who was beside him, smiled and said, "General, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. Although my Dragon Sword Villa's name is rather martial, it only operates silver buildings, pawnshops, and restaurants."

Li Hui never thought that a servant would be so calm in the face of his own close guards. He immediately said in an unfriendly tone, "In that case, the Dragon Sword Villa no longer plans to cooperate!"

Dan Rong's expression didn't change as he continued to speak calmly: "This humble one is untalented. Although I respect the general's ability, I also don't feel like colluding with the government. This kind of strenuous business isn't something that ordinary people like me can do."

Although Li Hui was not satisfied with the Emperor's actions, the princess' birthday was coming up. If he did not hand over the tribute, not only would he be implicated, even the commoners would have to suffer harsh treatment. In the past few days, he had been extremely anxious. Plus, no one had ever dared to show such disrespect to him. He angrily slapped the table, and with a "Kacha" sound, the corner of the table cracked.

"Dan Rong Ruoyun, do you want to refuse a toast and take a forfeit?"

"Nonsense!" He looked at the hussar who was ready to fight behind Li Hui. His anger rose and he also punched the table. With a "boom", he broke the table leg and the entire table collapsed onto the ground. Laifu was watching from the side, breathing in cold air. The poison had just been detoxified, yet his body still hadn't recovered yet and he was still courting death!

Li Hui could not help but sigh. He saw his subordinates glaring at him angrily, waiting for an uncontrollable situation. He did not want to offend this person. However, he was born in the martial arts world and had always had a smooth official life. His status was even higher. He had never seen someone who looked down on him like this. He also roared, "How dare you!"

At this critical moment, a cold laugh rang out that was out of place. Li Hui could see that it was the man dressed in scholarly robes that was under Dan Rong's command. He vaguely felt that he was familiar with this person, so he should have seen him somewhere before. He nodded at Dan Rongxiao to indicate that he didn't want to speak, then said to himself: "This great general is so easily tricked that this commoner has a whole new level of respect for him!"

Li Hui frowned, "What do you mean?" He also felt that something was amiss. These people wouldn't be so stupid as to wait for someone to deal with them, but who else would have the guts to do so after getting robbed in his place? Then, he mocked, "Why? Does the manor lord allow others to snatch the food from your own hands?"

Laifu interrupted his words and spoke up first: "My words are wrong. Our manor lord is engaged in a serious business deal. The general is speaking in a harsh tone, I'm sorry but I don't understand what he's saying."

When did he, the head of the bandits, become a proper seller? [That is hilarious!] When he saw Li Hui so angry that smoke was about to come out of his head, he couldn't help but want to laugh. He heard Li Fu say: "It's our common duty to cooperate with the government in the capture of criminals, but it's not our responsibility. I'd like to ask the general if he came to our villa to seek help or to take the person. No matter the size, a case in the capital would have to be reviewed by the yamen authorities of Ying Tian Prefecture. Since the general had troubled himself with this case, then he would have to trouble the general to uphold justice for the commoners. "These bandits dare to rob even the tribute in broad daylight, how can we ordinary people ever dare to go out again in the future!"

Li Hui's eyes widened in anger. These few sentences were truly watertight. Not only did he deny the illegal activities of the Dragon Sword Villa, he also ridiculed Li Hui from the perspective of a victim and pointed out his own weak points. The person handling the case was indeed part of Ying Tian Palace, but the Emperor had personally instructed him to escort the birthday present. However, he didn't have any evidence! Dan Rong Rui wasn't an ordinary person, so it wasn't that easy for him to be detained and interrogated. Yes, if there was evidence, why bother wasting so much bullshit on these bandits! Laifu ignored his anger and continued to calmly stand by his side, as if there was no one else apart from this master in his eyes.

"Good!" Well said! The manor lord had really received a good home tutor! Master did not speak but instead let the dog bark! " Li Hui's patience had reached its limit. This Lucky Faction really wasn't simple. He always felt like he had seen him somewhere before. He didn't have the time to think about this at the moment. The only thing he could think about was that this place was filled with talented people. If not for the fact that tribute was the main reason, and if not for the fact that respect had been given to him as well, he would have become a scourge among his comrades, and the Dragon Sword Villa would have long ago been annihilated.

Not only was Laifu not angry when he was scolded as a dog, he still acted even more shamelessly like a dog slave when he stood next to Dan Rong.

When he heard Li Hui insult both his master and servant, he also said unhurriedly with an unfriendly tone: "General, there's a difference in words between us. If the other party is a human, then it's naturally human words. If it's a beast, hmph —" Li Hui had been in the army camp for a long time, but he was obedient and gave orders. He actually didn't understand how to get along with other people, so he didn't like getting close to anyone either. Being ridiculed repeatedly today, he did not know how to return it. He did not want to waste any more words. With a wave of his hand, the subordinate behind him raised his broadsword and prepared to launch an attack.

Dan Rong's subordinates were all courageous and ruthless people. They had been waiting for this moment for a long time now. All of them drew their hidden sabers from their backs. Seeing that a fight was unavoidable, he too took out the long spear on the weapon rack.

Li Hui knew he was an expert, so he wanted to be enlightened. He pulled out his great blade and was about to make a move, but he was stopped by Shi Potian's shout.

"Tai! Which mad dog dares to bite someone here?! " The crowd followed the voice and looked over. They saw that this vigorous roar was coming from a thirteen or fourteen year old little beggar covered in filth, holding onto a piece of straw in his mouth! Beside him, a youth wearing elegant white clothes with a golden hoop on his head dodged him in disgust and jumped into the hall!

Such a handsome man, such a brilliant skill! Li Hui could not help but praise him.

Looking at the little beggar again, his steps seemed unsteady, even crawling and rolling in, but his speed was faster than ever before!

He shuttled through the crowd and arrived in front of Dan Rong like the wind. Due to the huge difference in height between him and Li Hui, he put his hands on his hips and said while raising his head, "If you want to fight, you have to pass me first!"

Seeing his thin and shriveled appearance, mud all over his face, as well as his impenetrable clothes, standing in front of the valiant and mighty Dan Rong, Li Hui couldn't stand the contrast anymore!

He felt like his liver was about to turn green. Before he could make a move, a slender white hand suddenly pushed him down, "Scram!" The one who spoke was the white-clothed youth.

The youth's face was as fair as jade, his demeanor was proud and confident, and his eyes were cold as he stared at the group of horses without fear.

Dan Rong was just about to call out to the little hoodlum who had fallen to the ground, when the little hoodlum gritted his teeth and spoke shyly towards Mo Qingfeng: "I'll fight it out with you!"

After speaking, he pounced forward. However, Mo Qingfeng didn't even bother dodging, and continued to smile imperceptibly. Qin Xiao suddenly changed his direction and rushed in front of Li Hui to hug his leg. He lowered his head and took a bite, even though he was wearing cotton clothing, his sharp canine teeth were still able to bite through the blood. Li Hui was furious from the pain, and the big blade in his hand chopped towards Li Hui!

Just as he was about to tell her to be careful, the next time he saw her, Qin Xiaoliu had already leapt up and rolled behind him, sticking out her tongue at Li Hui in a very proud manner. All of Li Hui's subordinates charged forward with swords in their hands, but his subordinates had already become impatient from waiting. They started fighting in the Ju Yi Hall, and no matter how Lai Fu wanted to stop them, he had already arrived.
