Li Ziye disappeared.
The big news in the East China Sea finally reached the Central Plains.
For a moment, everyone was shocked.
The influence of the Li family in the Shang Dynasty was astonishing.
After many years of management, the Li family's overt and covert forces have spread throughout the entire Shang Dynasty.
People in the world pursue profit, human nature is like this, no one is an exception.
This is also the reason why the Dashang royal family dare not take action against the Li family.
It's not that it can't be done, but that the cost is too high and the gain outweighs the loss.
It took ten years for the Li family to go from darkness to light, and it also took ten years for Dashang Imperial City to go from knowing the existence of the Li family to truly realizing the threat of the Li family.
Raising tigers is a recipe for disaster, and it’s too late to regret it.
Today's Li family is no longer an ordinary businessman family, but represents a huge chain of interests.
Overtly or covertly, the existence of the Li family affected the economic lifeline of half of the great Shang Dynasty.
And Li Ziye, as the only legitimate son of the Li family, could be said to be the wealthiest person in the entire Shang Dynasty.
But, now, Li Ziye is missing.
The news coming from the East China Sea is so shocking.
If something happens to the legitimate son of the Li family, it means that the behemoth Li family will lose its only heir.
This was a devastating blow to the Li family.
Shocked, all parties immediately sent people to confirm the authenticity of the news.
Soon, more detailed news came back. The Li family's legitimate son had indeed disappeared and fell into the sea.
The vast East China Sea is so vast. Falling into the sea and missing is almost equal to death.
Unless you are a great practitioner of the Five Realms.
However, the legitimate son of the Li family is not a great practitioner of the Five Realms.
Li Yuan and Li Youwei almost fainted after getting the news.
Taixue Palace.
A young figure wearing a white robe and an ancient sword hurried towards the east courtyard.
To the east, in a quiet courtyard.
Confucius and Faru, two elderly people, were playing chess.
Since losing his cultivation, Faru's face seems to have become much older.
However, he seems to be in good spirits.
After relinquishing his position as the Master, he spent every day playing chess with the Confucian leader, growing vegetables, or spraying students in Taixue Palace. He was very carefree.
"Confucian leader, you lose."
When Fa Ruzi fell down and decided the winner, he couldn't help laughing.
"sharp."
Confucius also had a smile on his face and said, "Your chess skills have made great progress."
"I have nothing to do, so I found a few more chess books and read them. I benefited a lot." Faru said with a smile.
"It seems that you like your current life very much. I heard that you scolded a student again yesterday?"
Confucius picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one and said with a smile, "These children from Taixue are becoming more and more afraid of you."
"I used to have responsibilities, so I had a lot of worries, but now, haha."
Faru laughed and said, "No wonder the boy from the Li family likes to curse people so much. Sure enough, it is very refreshing."
"You!"
Confucius chuckled lightly and said, "Speaking of which, the Li family boy's matter is making a big fuss now, and your disciple can hardly sit still."
"Have you forgotten your words?"
Hearing this, Faru nodded and said, "It's probably coming soon."
"Confucian leader!"
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Disciple, Bai Wangyu wants to see you!"
In front of the small courtyard, Bai Wangyu stood there anxiously, confused by concern, and lost his usual calmness.
In the courtyard.
Confucius and Faru looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Sure enough, it came.
Young people!
No matter how outstanding you are, you still can't calm down when things happen.
"come in!"
Confucius answered.
Outside the courtyard, Bai Wangyu heard the Confucian leader's response and immediately stepped into the small courtyard.
"Master?"
In the courtyard, Bai Wangyu was slightly surprised when he saw Fa Ru, who was opposite the Confucian leader. He immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple has met the Confucian leader and the Master."
"Wangyu, are you in such a hurry? What happened?" Faru said with a smile.
"Master, Mr. Li is missing in the East China Sea." Bai Wangyu said urgently.
"heard."
Faru smiled and said, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. That boy is lucky and has a great destiny. He won't die."
"But."
Bai Wangyu looked anxious and said, "According to the news from the East China Sea, all the big pirates in the East China Sea have been dispatched, but there is still no trace of Professor Li. The disciple is worried that Brother Li has encountered some trouble. .”
"how do you want to do it?"
Opposite Fa Ru, Confucius picked up the chess pieces back into the chess box and asked.
Bai Wangyu's expression changed. After a moment, he said seriously, "This disciple wants to take a trip to the East China Sea."
"Nonsense."
Hearing this, Fa Ru frowned lightly and reprimanded, "You are the eldest disciple of the Confucian sect and you also hold the position of teaching in the North Academy. How can you leave so easily."
Bai Wangyu was silent, not answering, but not giving in either.
"It's not impossible to go."
Kong Qiu said calmly, "The Li family boy will indeed be in a lot of trouble this time, but it's not appropriate to just go like this."
A look of confusion flashed across Bai Wangyu's face. What did the Confucian leader's words mean?
"You go to Li Garden first."
Confucius said, "Let's see what the eldest daughter of the Li family said."
"Miss Li?"
Bai Wangyu was surprised, quickly recovered, and respectfully responded, "Yes!"
Not long after, Bai Wangyu left the small courtyard and walked towards the outside of Taixue Palace.
"Confucian leader, what is the purpose of this move?"
In the courtyard, Fa Ru was puzzled.
"What happened to the boy of the Li family has wide implications. If it is not handled properly, the foundation of the Li family will even be shaken."
Confucius put all the chess pieces back into the chess box. There was no wave in his vicissitudes of eyes, and he said calmly, "If Wang Yu wants to go, let him go. Of course, it can't be in vain. A visit to Li Garden is a good way for those in the capital." People see it as giving themselves some opportunities."
"What Confucian leader means is to knock the mountain to shake the tiger?"
Fa Ru's expression condensed and he said, "Using Wangyu's identity to express the attitude of our Confucian sect and warn those who want to add insult to injury?"
"good."
Kong Qiu nodded and said, "The Li family cannot be in chaos, otherwise, half of the Shang Dynasty will be in chaos. Besides, Wangyu will definitely have to suffer a lot when he goes to the East China Sea. No matter what, he has to let the eldest daughter of the Li family accept this favor." .”
Fa Ru understood what Confucius said and sighed, "Confucian leader, are these two people really destined?"
All this time, he had never seen the connection between Wang Yu and the Li family's daughter. Even Li Ziye said that his eldest sister and Wang Yu had not even exchanged a few words.
"Let nature take its course. Whether it is destined or not is not up to us." Confucius replied.
An hour later.
Li Yuan.
Bai Wangyu stepped forward.
After Li Yuan saw Little Red Riding Hood, no one stopped her.
In the hearts of the people under the Li family, this Confucian disciple was basically equal to half of Li Yuan's master.
"Are you going to the East China Sea?"
In the room in the inner courtyard, Li Youwei put down the medicine in her hand and said in a deep voice, "Whose decision?"
"My own decision."
Bai Wangyu said calmly, "However, the Confucian leader did not object."
Li Youwei heard this and fell silent for a long time. Then she stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Youwei, I would like to thank you."
"Miss Li, don't do this."
Bai Wangyu hurriedly stepped forward, helped the woman in front of him, and said softly, "This is what I should do."
"please."
Li Youwei raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her, a look of gratitude on her beautiful and slightly pale face.
Perhaps because of their illness, the Li family's daughter, who had always been strong, looked so weak at the moment.
No one is born strong. It has not been easy for the Li family and the Li family to support the huge Li family. Now because of their youngest brother's accident, their persistence collapsed and their weak side finally appeared.
"Don't worry, Miss Li, I will definitely bring Brother Li back safely." Bai Wangyu said seriously.
"Um."
Li Youwei nodded lightly and warned, "Be careful too."
"Um."
Bai Wangyu nodded, responded softly, and immediately turned around and left.
There were not many words between the two of them, everything was left unsaid.
Destined or not, let nature take its course.
Both of them have their own responsibilities, and the personal relationship between children and children is sometimes not the only one.
Even, there is no time to think about it.
And at this time.
I don’t know where, I don’t know where.
In the mist and rain, a majestic pavilion stood vaguely.
Around the pavilion, there are jagged rocks and dense formations, forming a perfect place of its own.
And above the pavilion, three large characters are clearly engraved.
Yanyu Tower!
The world-famous No. 1 building in the world is located here.
The Yanyu Tower was only established for ten years, but in just ten years, its strength increased rapidly and became stronger day by day, including almost most of the killers in the world.
Killers work hard for gold and silver.
As for Yanyu Tower, the most indispensable thing is gold and silver.
Therefore, the rise of Yanyu Tower is not surprising.
Especially in the past two years, the growth rate of Yanyu Tower has reached a terrifying level.
According to rumors, a year ago, an elder from the Xianmen sect caused public outrage for raping a young girl. Soon after, the young girl's family came to Yanyu Tower and offered gold and silver to buy her life.
No one knows how the young girl's family found Yanyu Tower, and no one knows how much money Yanyu Tower collected. They only know that just three days later, the Supreme Elder of the Immortal Sect was found dead in the wilderness, with his lower body covered in blood and flesh. It was blurry and was cut off bit by bit with a dull knife.
From then on, the world was shocked.
You must know that the Supreme Elder of the Immortal Sect is a master-level powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Fourth Realm. Unless a great practitioner of the Fifth Realm takes action, no one can kill him.
It was precisely after this incident that Yanyu Tower completely secured its title as the first floor in the world.
All forces have gone from being dismissive to being deeply afraid of the existence of Yanyu Tower.
Being able to kill even the peak of the Fourth Realm means that there are great cultivators of the Fifth Realm sitting in the Yanyu Tower. As long as someone can afford the price, no one under the Five Realms is absolutely safe.
However, the origin of Yanyu Tower is too mysterious, and no one knows its details. Even the killers in Yanyu Tower only follow orders and collect money after completion.
The work process of Yanyu Tower has always been strict. From accepting tasks, issuing tasks, and delivering bounties, different people are responsible for everything. The killer only needs to do things and collect money, and he does not know anything else and has no access to it.
The rules and procedures can be said to be airtight, without any flaws. Therefore, outsiders have almost zero understanding of Yanyu Tower.
No one knew that the person who made these rules was just a child under seven years old.
In the past ten years, Yanyulou has grown rapidly like a snowball with its immense financial resources and unique business rules, and no one can stop it.
Today's Yanyu Tower has grown into a behemoth, capable of rivaling any force in the world.
"Boom!"
When the sun sets in the west, in front of Yanyu Tower, which has been silent for a long time, the huge stone door rumbles open.
Outside the Yanyu Tower, the clouds and mist dispersed, and the misty rain became misty, revealing the true appearance.
this moment.
In the mist, a young figure wearing a silver-gray cloak stepped forward. Behind him, he carried an azure sword box more than three feet long. He went south to get the sword and returned today.
"See the original poster!"
The moment the young figure entered the Yanyu Tower, one by one strong men knelt down in the pavilion and saluted respectfully.
"Get up."
Li Qingzhi glanced at the people in front of him, stepped forward and looked at the woman in red in front of him, and said calmly, "Hongzhu, why are you here? What happened?"
"Master, something happened to the young master."
Hongzhu said with a heavy expression, "The spies reported that the young master fell into the East China Sea and disappeared. His whereabouts are still unknown."
When Li Qingzhi heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he asked, "When did it happen?"
"Half a month ago." Hongzhu replied.
Li Qingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What's the reaction from the outside world?"
"Shangmeng, Yin's Bank, and merchants from all over Dashang have taken this opportunity to secretly attack, causing a lot of trouble for the Li family." Hongzhu responded.
"A bunch of clowns."
A chill flashed in Li Qingzhi's eyes, and he said, "Send someone to find something for them to do so that they have no time to worry about the Li family."
"yes!"
Hongzhu responded respectfully.
"As for the East China Sea."
Li Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go there myself."
"Lord, can you take your subordinates with you? This Yanyu Building is really boring."
At this time, in front of everyone, a young man wearing red and black clothes spoke and smiled.
Li Qingzhi frowned, hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "That's fine, but Hua Fengdu, you and I have an appointment. We are going to the East China Sea. Our main task is to find the Third Young Master. You are not allowed to do anything without permission."
"I sincerely abide by the landlord's decree."
Hua Fengdu's mouth slightly curved and he responded respectfully.
"Hongzhu, please continue to return to Li Garden to protect the safety of the people in Li Garden. If anyone causes trouble at this time, he will be killed without mercy!"
Li Qingzhi's expression turned cold and he said.
"yes!"
Hongzhu responded again.
"Hua Fengdu, let's go!"
After the warning, Li Qingzhi said nothing more, calmly said something, then turned and left.
Behind them, Hua Feng reached out to lift a knife. A long, narrow and bright red knife was put into a sheath, its edge disappeared, and its blood was drained away.
Fengdu and Huangquan, the two strongest deputy owners of Yanyu Tower, today, Fengdu is released from the ghost prison, and Yama descends into the human world.
Outside the Yanyu Building, after walking out of the fog that blocked the sky and the sun, Hua Fengdu held up a red umbrella to block the bright sunshine.
"Are you still ill?"
Ahead, Li Qingzhi asked knowingly.
"It won't get better for the time being."
Hua Fengdu smiled and said, "So I want to earn more money so that I can use it to treat illnesses. Master, if you find the young master this time, do you have any money to take?"
"Ten thousand taels of gold."
Li Qingzhi said lightly.
"Oh, the host is really generous."
Hearing this, Hua Fengdu smiled softly and said, "It seems that I have to sacrifice my life this time."
