Chapter 215 Bandits 1
"It's only been less than a year, and Brother Zhao has aged like this. As the saying goes, the dead cannot be resurrected. It's been so long since the incident, and it's time for Brother Zhao to let go of the past and live a good life." Seeing the hatred on Zhao Changhe's face, Li Xingyuan's heart tightened, but soon changed into a sad look, with tears of sorrow in his eyes, and sighed regretfully.
Li Xingyuan always believed that the fate of the Zhao family was the fault of Zhao father and son. The only people he felt guilty about were Zhao Chan and the unborn child in her belly, so his sighs of regret were not at all pretense.
"Bah, you are still pretending to be so hypocritical in front of me, Li Xingyuan, you really are a shameless old fox." Zhao Changhe's hatred deepened when he saw Li Xingyuan's hypocritical face. He immediately cursed and pointed at him angrily.
"Brother Zhao, what do you mean? I was trying to comfort you with good intentions, so why did you start scolding me?" Li Xingyuan spread his hands innocently and sighed again.
The group of bandits who were watching the fun naturally couldn't tell who was right or wrong. Of course, they didn't care and just watched it for fun.
Li Yunye in the carriage was feeling nervous and scared, but he couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard Mr. Li's superb acting skills. He had never realized that his father was also an actor. He was such a good actor.
"you....."
"Alright, alright. We are not interested in listening to your grievances in this heavy snow." When Zhao Changhe was about to get angry again, the one-eyed strong man on the tall black horse interrupted him impatiently, and then said coldly: "Today, almost all the brothers of Jiugang Village have come out, so they must return with a full load. The two of you should show your sincerity quickly so that Jiugang Village can decide who to help."
"Hmph, if the boss really believes that guy surnamed Li, I'm afraid Jiugang Village will be in great trouble tomorrow." As soon as the one-eyed strong man finished speaking, Zhao Changhe snorted coldly, still staring at Li Xingyuan.
Li Xingyuan was not too worried at this time. The Zhao family was in decline, and Zhao Changhe was just struggling to survive. Jiugang Village was only greedy for profit. Naturally, as the famous Li in Jiangnan, he had the confidence to surpass Zhao Changhe in terms of financial resources.
"Boss Zhao, don't keep us in suspense. We are all rough guys who like to speak frankly." Zhao Changhe's words made the one-eyed strong man a little unhappy. Obviously, he had already leaned towards the wealthy and famous Jiangnan Li.
"Master, don't you know that the famous Li from Jiangnan is actually the current Imperial Censor?"
"Zhao Changhe, stop talking nonsense!"
When Li Xingyuan heard this, he was shocked and angry, and glared at Zhao Changhe.
"Am I talking nonsense, or are you, Master Li, feeling guilty?" Li Xingyuan's subconscious reaction played into Zhao Changhe's hands. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the one-eyed man on horseback and continued, "Li Xingyuan is a shrewd man with a lot of experience. With the government behind him, Jiugang Village would be courting disaster if it does business with the famous Li from Jiangnan."
The one-eyed strong man couldn't help showing a sinister look on his face after hearing what Zhao Changhe said. Jiugang Village was surrounded and attacked by the government several times almost every year. Although they always escaped the catastrophe due to the terrain of Jiugang Mountain, they inevitably suffered losses. Therefore, they hated the government deeply. Today, they surrounded the Li family who colluded with the government in this mountain road. How could they let them go easily?
Li Yunye did not understand Jiugang Village's hatred for the government. He just thought that all the bandits should be afraid of the government. So when Zhao Changhe revealed that the famous Li in Jiangnan was related to his cousin, he couldn't help but wonder if the other party wanted revenge. But by revealing the Li family's backers, wasn't he helping the Li family?
After being disturbed by Zhao Changhe, and because Jiugang Village had always hated the government, they would rather believe it than give the Li family another chance. Li Xingyuan saw that money could not appease the bandits in Jiugang Village, so he moved to Li Yunye's carriage under the escort of the housekeeper, and the two drivers immediately guarded the other side.
"Father..." Li Yunye raised the curtain and saw Li Xingyuan in front of him, and called out hurriedly. Seeing Mr. Li's solemn expression, he also knew that the bandits came to help Zhao Changhe avenge, and the Li family might be in danger today.
"Don't be afraid, stay in the car, and remember, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, you must live well!" Seeing that his son had already turned pale with fright, Li Xingyuan instead gave him a loving smile and reminded him.
Suddenly seeing Mr. Li smiling at him, Li Yunye couldn't help crying. He wanted to get out of the car to accompany his father through life and death, but was stopped by An Yun.
"Ange, Anyun, please protect the young master well." Li Xingyuan spoke again outside the car.
Li Yunye, who was controlled by An Yun, could only burst into tears in the carriage after hearing his father's words.
"Master, please come up too!" Ange lifted the curtain again and said to Li Xingyuan anxiously.
"No, in this critical situation, we can't wait to die together as father and son. The butler will clear the way later, and you can take the opportunity to drive out of the encirclement." Li Xingyuan shook his head and lowered his voice to Ange.
"How can you let me..." Although Li Xingyuan lowered his voice, the people in the carriage heard it clearly. Li Yunye felt even more sad after hearing it. He realized today that Li Xingyuan loved his son, but his silent fatherly love was hidden in his heart.
"Young Master, don't make a sound." Li Yunye just opened his mouth when An Yun covered his mouth. An Yun's eyes were filled with tears at this time, but he had a mission to complete and had to force himself to remain calm.
The one-eyed strong man on the tall black horse looked at Li Xingyuan in front of the carriage with an evil smile on his face. Although he could not hear clearly what they were talking about, he really enjoyed watching the fear and struggle of his prey when it was on the verge of death, so he was not in a hurry to give the order to attack.
"Boss, can you let me deal with the Li father and son myself later?" At this time, Zhao Changhe suddenly came to the front of the black horse tremblingly, and asked the person on the horse cautiously.
"Boss Zhao wants to take revenge personally, how could I stop him?" The one-eyed sturdy man lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhao Changhe, smiling sinisterly.
After hearing this, Zhao Changhe also laughed with satisfaction, then raised his scarlet tearful eyes to look up at the sky: Chu'er, Chan'er, you must watch carefully and see how your father will avenge you.
After explaining everything to Ange and Anyun, Li Xingyuan turned around and went back to the carriage in front with Butler Fang, while the two coachmen stayed behind to protect Li Yunye.
"It's boring to see Master Li looking ready to die." Seeing that Li Xingyuan's face had returned to calm, the one-eyed strong man felt disappointed.
"Nephew Yunye, my Chu'er was a close friend of yours when he was alive. Why don't you come out to see your uncle Zhao now?" Seeing his revenge, Zhao Changhe hadn't felt so relieved in a long time. Li Xingyuan's calm expression made him laugh triumphantly, and then he rushed to the carriage where Li Yunye was and shouted.
Li Yunye in the carriage had already burst into tears. Hearing Zhao Changhe's smug provocation, he suddenly became furious. The Zhao family had done so many evil things and reaped the consequences, but Zhao Changhe had the nerve to blame the Li family. No wonder he could raise such a heartless son like Zhao Chu.
