Chapter 970: Looking for Sister

Li Yao's contribution to annihilating the Ten Thousand Prison Army was not of great effect. At most, he would be commended by the superiors or receive an official position.

However, he has no interest in being an official.

Moreover, if he was rewarded for destroying the Ten Thousand Prison Army, he would also offend the city lord.

After all, the city lord did not discover the Ten Thousand Prison Army, and it was not the city lord who destroyed the Ten Thousand Prison Army. Then the city lord will definitely be held accountable.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Yao decided to come to the door in person and give the city lord the credit of the Ten Thousand Prison Army.

And his reciprocation was recognized by Zhu Daqing, and he received all the benefits that originally belonged to the Zhang family and the Wang family.

The city lord can also get the credit for destroying the Ten Thousand Prison Army, and the reward will be indispensable when the time comes.

Therefore, it can be said that it is a win-win situation for both parties and everyone is happy.

Li Yao left the city lord's mansion after getting the city lord's approval and commitment.

He will be very busy in the next period of time, so he has to go back quickly.

Li's Escort Agency.

As soon as Li Yao came back, he was surrounded by everyone.

"Chief escort, how is the situation?"

They learned that today the chief escort would go to the city lord to ask for an explanation.

In fact, they are quite worried.

After all, they also learned the news today that all members of the Wang and Zhang families were captured and taken to the military camp.

You said, it's strange that they are not afraid of being implicated.

So, when they saw Li was coming back, they all gathered around him.

Li Yao looked around at the people in front of him. None of them knew the truth. It was very normal to have such worries.

Only a few people knew about the Li family's elimination of the Ten Thousand Prison Army, namely Li Taihang's brother and sister, Old Man Dong and him.

Therefore, there is basically no problem keeping this matter confidential.

Li Yao smiled and said: "Everyone, don't worry. Not only are we fine, the city lord has also decided to let me take over the Wang and Zhang family's property."

"Wow!"

"Really?"

Everyone was stunned, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.

"Great, I was worried that we were going to be arrested too."

"Yeah, me too."

After all, so many soldiers were dispatched, and they were very nervous.

"Okay, let's all disperse. There are still a lot of things to be busy with next."

When Li wanted to speak, everyone dispersed.

He glanced at the Li Taihang brothers and sisters, and said that the survival of the Li Family Escort Agency this time was entirely due to these brothers and sisters.

Unexpectedly, one of them is Wu Zong and the other is Wu Zun, which is simply incredible.

"Senior Brother and Senior Sister, please." Li Yao looked like he was trying his best to please the two of them.

The rest of the Li family also knew that it was these two brothers and sisters who helped, otherwise Li Yao would really be doomed.

Therefore, they treat the two brothers and sisters with great respect.

"okay!"

They went to the hall.

Not long after, news came from the City Lord’s Mansion.

The Zhang and Wang families were caught for plotting to kill Li Yao and sending people to assassinate Li Yao.

At the same time, his clan members also colluded with the Ten Thousand Prison Army, which was confirmed.

Specially, kill the entire Zhang and Wang families.

When this charge came down, many people were shocked.

"Ah, I didn't expect that the Zhang family and the Wang family would plot to kill the Li family."

"That's a normal thing. After all, only by killing Li Yao can their business improve."

"Well, that's true, but it's also damaging enough."

"yes!"

"Actually, they have more damage."

"What?"

"Do you know that the Zhang and Wang families actually colluded with the Ten Thousand Prison Army and were discovered by the city lord? Coupled with the murder of the Li family, the whole Zhang and Wang families are really doomed."

"It's so terrible. You actually colluded with the Ten Thousand Prison Army?"

The public opinion of the people in the city also slowly changed under Zhu Daqing's deliberate control, causing the arrest of the Zhang and Wang families to quickly settle down.

Especially the collusion with the Ten Thousand Prison Army made the people who originally sympathized with the Zhang and Wang families feel abhorrent.

And it became a matter of course to deal with everyone in the Zhang and Wang families.

Just like that, the matter settled down.

However, due to the problem of the Ten Thousand Prisoners, the entire Yan City has become particularly strict with inspections in and out of the city. There are also some soldiers patrolling the city from time to time.

At the same time, in order to trace the whereabouts of the Wanjian Army, the Yan Wei Army also sent many spies.

Although they captured Zhang Xiong and Wang Youfu, they had no idea where the Wan Prison Army was.

As for how they contacted Wan Jie Jun, it was because Wan Jie Jun came to them personally.

This also gave Zhu Daqing an unexpected piece of news, that is, the Ten Thousand Prison Army was most likely targeting Yancheng.

The spies sent by Zhu Daqing came back soon, and sure enough, they found traces of the Wanjian Army.

However, when their army arrived, those Ten Thousand Prisoners fled again.

Of course, when this happened, Li Taixing and his little sister were practicing in the yard.

"Little sister, I plan to go find your eldest sister and second sister, what do you think?"

Now, staying in Yancheng is no longer a problem.

However, Li Taihang was worried about the safety of his two sisters.

"Brother, I'll go too." Li Xiaoling saw this and said.

"No, you can't go."

"Why?"

"Because we have to have someone to look after the house." Li Taixing didn't want to take Li Xiaoling with him.

After all, Li Xiaoling is still too young. Although she has the strength of a martial master, she has an inherent disadvantage. If she really fights, she will still suffer.

It just so happens that they have a good relationship with Li Yao, and they can send their little sister to their home.

"Okay then." Li Xiaoling nodded, and she also felt that it made sense.

However, it is not easy to find his eldest and second sisters.

So, he first took Li Xiaoling to visit Li Yao, and left her behind, and went to investigate alone.

He left Yancheng and got some information from Li Yao, knowing where the bandits' dens were.

"Then go find these dens first, maybe you can find clues."

Li Taihang went to the nearest hilltop, where there was a group of bandits, probably hundreds of people.

After Li Taihang slipped in, he looked around and found that there were no other people here, all bandits.

However, it did not prevent him from understanding the location and situation of other bandits through them.

"Who?"

The bandits looked at him in astonishment when they saw Li Taihang alone.

"When did this guy show up?"

"Quick, catch him." After saying that, these people rushed over.

As a result, Li Taihang swung his sword and killed more than half of the hundreds of bandits.

The remaining bandits were all trembling.

"Where did this plague god come from? It's so scary."

"That's right!"

They didn't dare to go up at this time.

Li Taihang saw that he had intimidated them and said, "Do you know which bandit dens nearby will capture some people to the mountains?"

Hearing Li Taihang's words, they were stunned at first.

"Tell me."

Li Taihang pointed his sword at the bandits.

"Ah!"

They were startled and came to their senses. ..

"By the way, it's Shuihuo Village. They will capture people, but we don't."

"Really? Then where is this Shuihuo Village?"

"In Dangping Mountain, about 20 miles away from here."

"Very good, if you dare to lie to me, you're dead."

"We dare not."

They quickly promised.

Li Taihang nodded and left the mountain.

When Li Taihang left, the bandits felt relieved.

"That evildoer is gone?"

"Gone."

"Oh, that's terrible."

"Yeah."

"But when did the Shuihuo Village capture civilians?"

"Shuihuo Village is the strongest, so it's best to trick him there. Besides, who knows if there are any there? There must be some in such a big village."

"Yeah, that makes sense. After all, in this day and age, apart from some large villages, who has the resources to feed some useless poor people?"

They didn't know that their conversation was overheard by Li Taihang.

They heard a flash of sword light.

After a while, screams were heard everywhere, and all the bandits in the village were killed by Li Taihang.

"I said, if you dare to lie to me, you will die!"

Li Taihang killed all the bandits here and left quietly.

Pingshan.

Although the bandits did not provide him with correct information, they also gave him a direction.

He still had to go to this Shuihuo Village.

Dangping Mountain is a steep and dangerous place, and it is difficult to go up the mountain. There is only one path leading to the top of the mountain.

And it is this path that makes this place particularly easy to defend and difficult to attack, like one man guarding the pass, ten thousand men cannot open it.

Shuihuo Village is on this mountain.

There is a water source on the mountain, and they can basically be self-sufficient and live a decent life.

When Li Taihang saw the terrain here, he knew that it was not an easy thing to go up.

However, fortunately, he is already a martial master.

He can also cross the mountains and sneak into Shuihuo Village without taking the path.

Shuihuo Village has arranged many scouts on the path, watching the safety of this path.

They didn't find Li Taihang, because Li Taihang didn't take the path, but climbed up the mountain.

After arriving at the halfway point of the mountain, Li Taihang found that the terrain here was relatively flat, and saw a peaceful scene.

There are farmlands, fruits and vegetables planted on the mountain, and some livestock are raised.

There is a water source on the mountain. The water flows down from a waterfall on the top of the mountain. The bandits lead the water to the farmland for irrigation.

There are many houses scattered around the mountain.

If Li Taihang didn't know that this is a bandit's nest, he would have thought he came to a paradise.

Li Taihang sneaked in quietly.

Although there are guards here, they are useless in front of Li Taihang.

Li Taihang quickly found a special place. He found a cave with voices coming out of it.

"I heard that the Wanyu Army appeared."

"Wanyu Army? The rebels?"

"That's right!"

"So, the Yanwei Army is not attacking to eliminate us bandits?"

"Of course not."

"Well, that's good. Over the years, our lives have been stable and we don't steal or rob. But we are not easy to bully."

"Well, I'm afraid those officials will not let us go."
