"Master, there is something going on at Youwuhou Mansion!"
At midnight, Li Zexuan had already let Han Yuxi go to bed first. He was still reading in the study. Suddenly, Pang Feiji's deep and urgent voice came from outside the room.
"Come in!"
Li Zexuan's eyes flashed and he said immediately.
With a "squeak" sound, Pang Feiji walked in softly.
"Did the Cui family send experts to the Wuhou Mansion?"
Li Zexuan asked hurriedly.
Pang Feiji cupped his fists and replied: "Master Hou is very good at predicting things. Just three-quarters of an hour ago, a master sneaked into Wuhou's mansion and was discovered by Wuhou who was on duty inside! However, that man's martial arts skills were extremely high. Even if General Yuchi was in Wuhou, Three hundred archers and crossbowmen were ambushed in the Hou Mansion but could not harm him at all, so the two Dugu generals who were guarding outside quickly joined the battle, and the situation was reversed!"
It's a good thing that he used to hang out in You Wuhou's mansion, otherwise it would be strange that he was wandering around the streets at this late night and was not captured by Wu Hou who was patrolling the streets!
"How is the battle going? Has the assassin been caught?"
Li Zexuan asked expressionlessly.
"Master Hou! After the assassin who sneaked into Wuhou Mansion was surrounded, everyone discovered that there was another assassin outside secretly assisting him. However, the assassin who was assisting him was too skilled in movement. General Dugu did not catch up and let him run away! Although the remaining one was good at martial arts, he was no match for General Dugu. After he was defeated by General Dugu, everyone thought he would be captured without mercy, but they didn’t expect that he would directly hit General Dugu’s sword and commit suicide!”
"Suicide?"
Li Zexuan frowned, secretly thinking that he was so unlucky.
He worked so hard to set up a trap, but one of them escaped and the other one was left with a corpse. What a trick of fate!
"Bang bang!"
Suddenly, there was another knock on the door outside the house. It was absolutely impossible for someone from the Li family to knock on the door in the middle of the night, so it could only be someone from outside the house!
Li Zexuan winked at Pang Feiji, who approached the door and carefully opened it a crack. When he saw someone coming outside, he quickly opened the door completely.
"Is it Ashin?"
Seeing that the person coming was Dugu Xin, Li Zexuan stood up in surprise.
"Xiaoxuan, you should know what happened tonight, right?"
Duguxin nodded, stepped forward and said.
"Well, I got it! Feiji told me just now! Ashin, sit down and rest first!"
Li Zexuan said with a smile.
Dugu Xin said ruefully: "Xiao Xuan, I'm so sorry! We brothers lived up to our trust and didn't catch anyone alive! In this way, even if we suspect that they are people sent by the Cui family, we have no proof!"
Li Zexuan wants to deal with a thousand-year-old family like the Cui family, and the Dugu family certainly has no objection. One of them represents the Shandong gentry, and the other represents the old family. Besides, since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the glory of the Dugu family has always been closely related to the emperor at that time! It can be said that they are unswerving "royalists"!
In addition, the two brothers Dugu Xin and Dugu Feiying have always had a good relationship with Li Zexuan, so when they heard that Li Zexuan asked them to help with this job, they agreed without thinking!
"It doesn't matter! No one expected that this assassin would suddenly commit suicide. I can't blame you! Besides, it doesn't matter whether he can be captured alive or not, as long as Wan King Kong is still alive!"
Li Zexuan smiled and comforted.
It was said to be a comfort, but it was actually a fact. Even if there were no assassins tonight, he would still attack the Cui family!
"But I seem to know a little bit about the identities of these two assassins!"
Dugu Xin shook his head and said hesitantly.
"Oh? Where are they from?"
Li Zexuan was also curious about what kind of assassin could actually defeat Dugu Xin in terms of physical skills.
Dugu Xin frowned and said: "The leader should be Xiao Li. He also has three brothers, namely Xiao Li, Mei Lian, Xiao Miao, and Jie Miao, because more than ten years ago, the four of them were in Taipei. The area around Baishan was known as the Four Ghosts of Taibai for killing people, stealing goods, and occupying the mountain as king! However, after the world became peaceful, they disappeared without a trace!"
"Xie Li, Mei Lian, Xie Xie, Xie Miao! Together, they become Xie Mei Xie. It is appropriate to call them the Four Taibai Ghosts!"
After listening, Li Zexuan muttered something. Then he asked: "Axin, how do you know they are the Four Ghosts of Taibai?"
Dugu Xin recalled: "The assassin led by him had the same footwork as a shadow. He could always determine the most suitable foothold in the shortest time. The thousands of Wuhou around him at that time not only did not hinder him. , instead became a barrier to help him escape! This kind of walking method is very similar to the Five Elements Ghost Steps that I heard my second uncle talk about before! And these Five Elements Ghost Steps are exactly those of the big ghost among the four ghosts of Taibai - Xiao Li. Unique footwork!”
Li Zexuan blinked and said in wonder: "Is there such a magical footwork in the world? After destroying the Cui family one day, I have to capture this villain and torture him!"
Dugu Xin was speechless. What does it mean to "destroy the Cui family in another day"? Talking is like drinking soup! Did the Cui family say it can be destroyed if it is destroyed?
Although he believed that Li Zexuan would not easily suffer a loss against the Cui family, he would never believe that Li Zexuan could destroy the Cui family!

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Something bad has happened!"
Cui Mansion.
It was already midnight, and everyone in Cui Mansion was basically asleep at this time, but an old man rushed to the east courtyard in a hurry. When he approached the wing, he shouted loudly.
Immediately there was a rustling sound of dressing in the wing, and then the lights turned on.
"Come in and talk!"
Immediately afterwards, Cui Junchuo's voice came from the house.
The old housekeeper outside the house hurriedly entered, then bowed to Cui Junchuo and said: "Grandpa, the operation of Jie Li and Mei Lian failed. A large number of ambushes were set up in Youwuhou Mansion in advance, and two juniors from the Dugu family are also present!"
Cui Junchuo's expression changed. He coughed twice and said in a trembling voice, "Have Ji Li and Mei Lian been arrested?"
The old housekeeper said bitterly: "Back to Grandpa, Jie Li's physical skills are outstanding, and Dugu Xin couldn't catch up, so he escaped! But Mei Lian didn't escape, and her whereabouts are unknown now!"
"Whereabouts unknown?"
Cui Junchuo's usually emotionless face finally showed a hint of panic at this moment, "It's over! If Mei Lian falls into the hands of the court, the Cui family may be in trouble this time! We must make other plans, otherwise You won’t even be able to leave Chang’an City in two days!”
The old butler opened his mouth, trying to comfort her with something, but in the end he found that he could not comfort him with anything.
"Continue to pay attention to Mei Lian's whereabouts. If there is any news, inform me as soon as possible! Also, where is Xiao Li? Let him come to see me!"
After a long time, Cui Junchuo spoke out.
Just listening to his voice, it seems that he has become much older!
