Chapter 515: Learning Zeng Si's Identity
Xuanling Mountain on the outskirts of Qile City has slowly awakened from its winter slumber, like a magnificent landscape painting, full of vitality everywhere.
The carriage stopped at the foot of Xuanling Mountain. Li Yunye got off the carriage with Mu Liang. Looking up, he saw lush greenery all over the mountains, colorful wild flowers blooming wantonly, swaying in the spring breeze, and the gurgling stream was clear.
"It's so comfortable!" With the gurgling water, the singing birds and the fragrance of flowers, Li Yunyeqing couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath of the free and easy air, and the depression in his heart was swept away.
Since taking on the responsibility of being the famous Li in Jiangnan, Jiang Siyao has been walking on thin ice and dares not relax for a moment. She has even forgotten how long it has been since she felt so comfortable like now.
"I still remember when we were little and we sneaked here, you were naughty and playful and insisted on climbing that crooked tree but accidentally fell into the water. Fortunately, the stream was not fast or deep, but you still got punished when you went back all wet." Mu Liang looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly remembered the distant past. He couldn't help but murmured and laughed.
Jiang Siyao's heart skipped a beat when she heard her brother's words. She didn't expect that Li Yunye had been to Xuanling Mountain with Brother Mu Liang. She had never heard An Ge mention it, so she didn't know how to respond.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Liang asked with concern when he mentioned the past but saw that his brother remained silent and instead stood there with his brows slightly frowned.
"I can't remember what happened so long ago, Brother Muliang, let's go up the mountain and take a look. Maybe the scenery there is more beautiful!" Jiang Siyao avoided the other's gaze guiltily, and as he spoke, he walked towards a small path leading up the mountain.
When An Yun saw that the young master wanted to go up the mountain, he hurriedly went ahead to explore the way.
Mu Liang smiled and thought nothing of it, thinking that his brother was just being shy about his past mischief, so he said nothing more and followed him closely, admonishing him carefully: "The soil is loose in early spring, so walk slowly and be careful not to fall."
"Manager Mu seems to be in a leisurely mood today!" Before the two brothers took a few steps, a dark shadow fell behind them, followed by a sneer.
"Who is it?" An Yun reacted first and immediately turned around to protect Li Yunye and Mu Liang behind him.
"Master Muliang, he is not the one that night..." Dashi, the driver who was waiting at the foot of the mountain, was so frightened when he saw the man coming that his eyes widened. But before he could finish his words, Muliang stepped forward, passed An Yun, bowed to him and said with a smile:
"So it's Master Xue, how are you?"
Unexpectedly, Xue Gen's ghost came back again. Fortunately, he was not as murderous as before today, and Mu Liang felt relieved.
"Is this the boss of the famous Li family in Jiangnan, Mr. Li?" Xue Gen ignored Mu Liang and glanced at the young man in plain clothes who was protected behind.
"My name is Li Yunye. May I know who you are?" Li Yunye saw that this stranger who came from nowhere had guessed his identity. Although he was timid, he had to bite the bullet and walk to Mu Liang and put on a friendly smile and asked curiously. However, he had already made up his mind in secret: he had a dark face, a pointed chin, and was holding an iron rod in his hand. It was obvious that he was not a good person!
"Xue Gen." Xue Gen raised his eyebrows and replied coldly, but he saw Li Yunye's face full of doubts. He couldn't help but clench the iron rod in his hand, thinking: This Jiangnan famous Li's boss doesn't know my name, Xue Gen? Could it be that the matter of Yanjiapo really has nothing to do with their Li family?
Xue Gen? Sounds familiar, but I can't remember where.
Jiang Siyao racked his brains but couldn't remember where he had heard this name, so he turned to look at his brother.
"He is the second in command of Yanjiapo." Mu Liang whispered in his ear upon seeing this.
The bandits from Yanjiapo! Are they targeting the famous Li from Jiangnan again? But wasn't there a rumor that Yanjiapo had already surrendered to the imperial court? How long has it been since they became bandits again? Damn it, why are these bandits always targeting the Li family?
Jiang Siyao was secretly frightened, and her legs could not help but retreat behind Mu Liang. Although she also despised herself for being a coward who was afraid of death, there was nothing she could do because she was just timid.
Seeing that Li Yunye was afraid, An Yun and Mu Liang unconsciously protected him.
“Oh, so you’re the second in command of Yanjiapo. I’ve heard a lot about you!” Jiang Siyao, who was hiding at the back, was full of questions and worries, but he still pretended to be calm and bowed with a smile.
But no matter how calm Li Yunye pretended to be, he had already been betrayed by the two steps he took back just now. Xue Gen was no fool and he saw it. He sneered with contempt and no longer took the boss of this famous Jiangnan Li seriously.
"I wonder why Second Master Xue came here today?" Seeing that the other party looked down on his brother so much, Mu Liang's eyes turned cold and his tone also revealed a bit of chillness.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to seek revenge today. It's just that if the famous Jiangnan Li really didn't frame Yanjiaopo, then you should show your sincerity to prove it." Xue Gen then turned to Mu Liang and said in a deep voice.
When Li Yunye heard this, he turned pale with fright. These bandits were so despicable that they resorted to such despicable means to extort the famous Li from Jiangnan!
"How could the famous Li from Jiangnan have the ability to frame Yanjiaopo? Second Master Xue, don't make false accusations without any evidence!" Jiang Siyao became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He didn't know where he got the courage from, so he pushed away Mu Liang and An Yun who were blocking his way, pointed a finger at Xue Gen and asked angrily.
Faced with Li Yunye's righteous questioning, Xue Gen felt a little guilty, so he stopped talking. He just snorted coldly, put the iron rod in his hand on his shoulder, and glared at the other party with some provocation.
"Bastard!" Li Yunye's arrogance suddenly subsided upon seeing this, and he hid behind Mu Liang again, cursing in a low voice while gritting his teeth.
"Second Master Xue has always been a straightforward person. You can just say whatever you want to say." Mu Liang turned around and patted his brother's shoulder to comfort him, then turned back and continued to speak coldly to Xue Gen.
"If the famous Li from Jiangnan agrees to help me find someone, I will not bother you again." Xue Gen simply went straight to the point.
"Second Master Xue is looking for the Third Master Bai Wuchang of Yanjiapo?"
"Manager Mu is indeed a smart man." Xue Gen was not surprised that the other party could guess it, so he continued: "With the ability of Jiangnan Li, it should not be difficult to find my third brother Zeng Si, right?"
Xue Gen knew that he was a very stupid person. After learning that he might have wronged the famous Li from Jiangnan, he was at a loss. So he wanted to find his third brother who had disappeared for a long time as soon as possible to discuss with him.
"Zeng Si?" As soon as Xue Gen finished speaking, the three people opposite him said in surprise in unison.
Xue Gen couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw their expressions. He was about to speak when Mu Liang laughed and said:
"It is rumored that the third leader of Yanjiapo, Bai Wuchang, is a pale-faced scholar holding a soft sword. We should have thought of it as Master Zeng earlier."
"Manager Mu, do you recognize my third brother?" Xue Gen was overjoyed. He immediately let down his guard and walked quickly up to them and asked.
"More than just recognizing him, Mr. Zeng is the benefactor of my Jiangnan family named Li..." Mu Liang nodded and explained the fate between the Li family and Zeng Si.
After Xue Gen learned from Mu Liang the current whereabouts of his third brother, he turned around and left without saying a word.
"I didn't expect that the well-mannered Mr. Zeng was actually a bandit!" After Xue Gen left, Li Yunye still shook his head and sighed in disbelief.
Mu Liang looked at the direction where Xue Gen disappeared without saying a word. He was now more and more curious about the identities of Xuan Yu and Hong Hua.
