Li Yanqing brought Qing'er and two guards to Yanshou Villa again. Although Zhu Xie left his house and fled, the villa was still guarded by the butler and more than a dozen servants. Li Yanqing knocked on the door directly.

Two guards who followed Li Yanqing, one named Chen Xiaoyi and the other named Zhang Yong, were both trusted guards of King Jia Zhao Kai.

Zhang Yong took a step forward and showed the butler the badge of the palace guard, "Perform official duties and open the door immediately!"

"My master is not here, and the villain cannot make the decision!" The housekeeper said tremblingly.

Li Yanqing took out a jade pendant from his arms, shook it at the butler and said, "Then you should know this!"

This jade pendant was Zhu Jie's token. The housekeeper immediately understood that it was the master who asked them to come. He nodded quickly and said, "Please come in, three of you!"

Li Yanqing walked into the gate and ordered: "Take us to Jichangyuan!"

"plz follow me!"

The butler took Li Yanqing and his party hurried to the inner garden.

Jichang Garden is the garden where Zhu Xie's second son Zhu Tao lives. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a Taihu stone rockery nearly two meters high. Li Yanqing asked the housekeeper to ask two more to help. Soon, two servants came together, and the housekeeper brought a long rope again.

Li Yanqing climbed the Taihu Stone, tied the rope around the waist and said to everyone: "Put it down with all your strength!"

Everyone pulled hard together, and the Taihu Stone was gradually pulled. After nearly half an hour of continuous pulling, the Taihu Stone was knocked down and a big pit was exposed at the bottom.

Li Yanqing asked the butler and servant to retreat outside the yard, and said to Qing'er: "Watch outside the door, don't let anyone get close!"

Qing'er nodded and quickly walked out with the sword in his hand. Only then did Li Yanqing dig in the soil pit with two guards, and dig about a foot deep. With a sound of "Dang!", the hoe hit a piece of metal.

Li Yanqing was overjoyed. There was something buried below. They accelerated the excavation speed, and an iron box about a foot square finally appeared in front of them.

Li Yanqing climbed onto the ground with an iron box in his arms, cut off the mud on it with a dagger, and pried open the box. He saw that it was full of various letters. Li Yanqing flipped through a few letters and saw letters from Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others, as well as gift lists to the great powers and nobles in the capital.

This is what Liang Shicheng wants. In Liang Shicheng's eyes, these letters are probably much more valuable than gold jewelry.

At this moment, a series of screams suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate, and Qing'er was heard angrily shouting and fighting. Li Yanqing was shocked and drew out his short sword and rushed out.

But as soon as he rushed to the front of the yard, he saw three people walking into the outside. The leader was Tang Qianzhi, the former leader of the guard. He strangled Qing'er's neck with his arm, and a sharp dagger pressed against Qing'er's temple. Two subordinates were following him.

"So it's you!" Li Yanqing glared at him.

"Li Shaojun, under the command of the guards of the Xiadong Palace, Deng Chong, was ordered to retrieve Zhu Xie's letter!"

Deng Chong looked at the iron box behind Li Yanqing and smiled faintly: "That iron box has no meaning to Li Shaojun, but the little girl in my hand is different. Why don't we exchange it! Give me the box and I put the little girl."

Li Yanqing saw a figure in blue flashing behind Deng Chong, as fast as a ghost and extremely fast, and his heart moved and shook his head and said, "I really can't believe your words. Brother Tang, if you are really sincere, you shouldn't leave any ambush outside the door."

"What did you say?" Deng Chong looked back from the corner of his eyes. He seemed to feel something, so he winked at his two subordinates.

The two subordinates understood and walked out carefully with their swords. When they just walked to the front of the yard, a black shadow suddenly appeared. There were two crisp sounds of "bang!bang!", and the skulls of the two guards were smashed to pieces. They fell to the ground and died without even screaming.

The sudden change shocked Deng Chong and his mind was diverted. Li Yanqing was waiting for this fleeting opportunity. A stone in his hand hit the back of his left hand holding the dagger. The blow was extremely heavy, and his hand bones suddenly cracked. Deng Chong screamed, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.

Qing'er also cooperated with Li Yanqing's move. As the dagger fell, she suddenly broke free from Deng Chong's arm, rushed out, and broke away from Deng Chong's control.

But Deng Chong no longer cared about her. The black shadow behind him rushed to his eyes in a blink of an eye. He endured the pain and pulled out the long sword from his waist to stab the opponent in front of his chest. It was too late to dodge, so he could only use the method of losing both sides to force the opponent to retreat.

Deng Chong has always been the shadow guard of the prince Zhao Huan. He has extremely strong martial arts skills. Otherwise, he would not be the leader of the guards. Unfortunately, his left hand was injured, which somewhat affected his performance. It may not have a big impact in normal times, but in front of a real master, this influence means fatality. The pain in his left hand slowed down his sword speed. As soon as his sword tip touched the other party's clothes, the iron rod swept across, "Bang!" He heard the sound of bone shattering, and he knew nothing.

Deng Chong's body fell softly to the ground. The man in green raised his head and stared at Li Yanqing. Li Yanqing had already set his bow and arrows at the other party. The opponent's martial arts were too powerful. He knew that swordsmanship was not his opponent, so he could only fight the other party with a bronze bow and iron arrow.

At this time, he had seen the other party's face clearly. The man in blue was about thirty years old. He was tall and thin, with a thin face. His pair of triangular eyes were extremely sharp. He seemed to have infinite power all over his body. He held a four-foot-long short iron rod in his hand, and the iron rod was covered with white brains.

"Who are you?" Li Yanqing asked sternly.

The man looked at the copper bow and iron arrow in Li Yanqing's hand, with a rare softness in his eyes. He said lightly: "I was sent by Xianggong Cai to take away all the evidence that was unfavorable to Xianggong Cai. Give me all the things about Xianggong Cai in the box! Then we will go our own way."

"How do I trust you?"

"Your copper bow and iron arrow can't do anything to me. I want to kill you easily. You should believe me based on this."

The guard Chen Xiaoyi next to him said to Li Yanqing: "Shaojun, what he is telling the truth!"

Both guards were masters, and they knew that with Deng Chong's martial arts, they died in one meeting, let alone them.

Li Yanqing stared at the man for a moment, turned around and said to Qing'er, "Go and find them!"

Qing'er was about to unbox the man waved his hand and said, "I can't believe others, you can pick it up!"

Li Yanqing stared at him for a moment and slowly lowered the bronze bow. For some reason, he could not see a trace of hostility in the man's eyes.

Li Yanqing squatted down and opened the iron box. He searched the letters one by one. The man was not in a hurry and waited for him patiently. Li Yanqing searched twice, found all Cai Jing's letters, and then found the gift list for Cai Jing, and threw it to the man.

"It's all here!"

The man picked up the letters and the list, and put them in his arms without looking at them. He looked at Li Yanqing deeply and said, "Didn't your master tell you? The copper bow and iron arrow are within twenty steps, and the lethality is not as good as ordinary bows and arrows."

After saying that, he flashed and disappeared in an instant. His body was so fast that Qing'er and the two guards couldn't help but exclaim.

The two guards ran out and came back for a moment and said, "It's so cruel. The whole mansion was killed completely, all of them were killed with one blow."

Li Yanqing was in a very complicated mood. This man trusted him so much. He didn't even look at the letter he gave him. Although he was cruel, he had no malice towards him. A intuition told him that this man had some connection with the copper bow and iron arrow, and he had the chance to ask his master.

"Little official, have you hid a letter?" Qing'er asked in a low voice.

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I gave it all to him. These letters mean nothing to me, so why should I take this risk?"

Li Yanqing and his guards piled all the bodies in Guanyue Tower, and a fire ignited the small building. When the small building slowly sank into the lake, Li Yanqing and his party left Yanshou Villa and rode their horses towards Gusu City.

When Li Yanqing and his party arrived at Fengqiao outside Gusu City, the scene in front of them stunned everyone. They saw that the banks of the canal were crowded with people, with at least more than 100,000 people. The crowd was excited and surrounded fifty large ships in the canal. The front of the canal was blocked by countless small boats, and the fleet had to moor in the center of the canal.

Zhang Yong ran to inquire for a while and came back to report: "Li Shaojun, these people asked to hand over Zhu Xie, otherwise they would set fire to the ship, and it would be useless for the government to persuade them."

Li Yanqing was stunned. They didn't pass the Jiaxing local government at all. How could the news be leaked? No one even knew about Jiaxing. Instead, it spread all over Suzhou. Who did this?

At this time, someone behind him shouted: "Li Shaojun!"
