Chapter 217 A step too late
After a long silence, Li Yunye still buried his head and held his father Li Xingyuan's cold body in the snow without moving. The dark red blood around him gradually solidified into blood ice, and Li Yunye himself was already frozen stiff and cold, his hands and feet lost consciousness, waiting for death to come. Because he was afraid of pain, he hoped that the temperature would be colder. He would rather freeze to death than be stabbed with a knife, struggling in pain under the blood and flesh, and finally being boasted by these villains as a victory.
While still conscious, Li Yunye had never looked at Li Xingyuan in his arms so carefully as he did at this moment. He noticed that in less than a year, his father's temples had turned several gray lines, and his thin face looked older than last year. Perhaps it was because the last Jiangnan crisis consumed too much of his energy.
Before this, Jiang Siyao had never considered Li Xingyuan as her father, and often secretly accused him of being dictatorial, violent and ruthless. It was not until today's critical moment that she saw Li Xingyuan's implicit and deep fatherly love, but it was too late.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel sad that she was going to die just one year after her soul came into this body. She still had regrets and people she cared about. She wasted most of her time in this year, perfunctorily dealing with her father who entrusted her with important tasks, her mother, her brother Mu Liang, her aunt, her cousin... Thinking about it carefully, she was indeed spoiled here. She had to say that being Li Yunye was much happier than being Jiang Siyao, so her heart was no longer empty, because there were too many people in her heart that she cared about.
I don't know where I will go after this body dies? Will it die with the body or return after completing the mission? Everything is unknown, but perhaps because I have seen too many deaths today, Jiang Siyao is not so afraid.
An Yun was wounded in many places and bled a lot, but he still stood in front of the young master with a bloody knife in his hand, staring fiercely at the few remaining bandits around him with his big eyes like a ferocious beast.
Ange also picked up the short knife at his feet and protected the young master behind him. Even though he didn't know how to wield it, what would it matter if he risked his life for the young master? He stared at Zhao Changhe, who had already retreated far away, with a cold face, and the fire of hatred in his eyes burned.
"Please ask the boss to kill these two guys. I will fulfill my promise after I have taken revenge." Zhao Changhe also noticed the hatred in Ange's eyes. He was too familiar with this fire of hatred, which could burn a person's sanity to ashes at any time. But what does it matter? He doesn't care about the hatred of a dying person. Now that he kills Li Yunye, he can completely comfort his dead child.
"Boss Zhao, look, look, more than half of my brothers in Jiugang Mountain are dead or wounded. The loss is too heavy." But the one-eyed strong man sitting on the horse did not respond to Zhao Changhe's words in a hurry. He looked at the brothers lying in a pool of blood in front of him and said angrily.
"What does the boss mean?" Zhao Changhe felt a chill in his heart and looked up quickly and asked, would the Jiugang Village go back on its word?
"In order to help you deal with the Li family this time, my Jiugang Village has suffered a great loss. The previous price is too bad for my Jiugang Village." The one-eyed strong man said coldly, and then glanced at Zhao Changhe's reaction. Seeing that the other party was a little angry, he slowed down his tone and continued: "How about this, then let me borrow the young master of the Li family for a few days, and after my Jiugang Village asks for a sum of money from the famous Li in Jiangnan, I will let you do whatever you want."
"The boss has to keep his word." Jiugang Village wanted to use Li Yunye to continue to threaten the famous Li in Jiangnan, and Zhao Changhe had no choice but to accept it.
"We still have some unfinished business to do between us, so of course we have to keep our word." The one-eyed burly man smiled sinisterly and nodded.
Zhao Changhe said nothing, but snorted in his heart. Fortunately, Jiugang Village did not know where his property was hidden, otherwise he would have lost his life long ago. If it were not for revenge, he would not have taken the risk to find this group of profit-seeking, insidious and cunning bandits.
"Capture them all alive and bring them back to the village." The one-eyed strong man waved his arm again and gave the order. Except for Li Yunye, the other two guys were quite courageous. They could be kept alive and brought back to the village to be tortured slowly to vent the hatred of Jiugang Village for the death of so many brothers.
Although the Jiugangzhai bandits also suffered heavy casualties, they were more than enough to deal with Li Yunye and the other three. After all, An Yun was injured and could not hold on for long, and Li Yunye and An Ge were both unskilled, and in the eyes of these evil bandits, they were nothing more than fish on the chopping board.
Just as several bandits were about to rush towards Ange, they were suddenly hit by several darts that came from nowhere and fell to the ground instantly, screaming in pain.
Yan Yu, dressed in black, stood in front of Li Yunye. Seeing Li Yunye covered in blood, holding the long-dead Li Xingyuan stiffly, she couldn't help but frown. She rushed over at full speed but was still a step late. Her eyes turned from the initial heartache to murderous intent, and then she slowly turned around and stared at Zhao Changhe coldly.
Suddenly a mysterious woman appeared and used hidden weapons to hurt people. The bandits were all terrified. They had just fought a bloody battle and were already exhausted. They thought it was almost over and they would return to the village, but unexpectedly, someone who seemed to be helping the Li family showed up at this moment.
The one-eyed strong man was also agitated by the changes in front of him. He did not bother to ask the identity of the person who came. When he raised the bow in his hand to put an arrow on it, he suddenly felt the horse under him sink slightly. He turned around alertly and was surprised to see a weak scholar standing behind him.
"Boss..." Without waiting for his men to remind him, the one-eyed strong man had no time to react. He saw a sword flash from the waist of the scholar standing on horseback. In a flash, the one-eyed strong man fell heavily off the horse, with blood spurting from his throat.
When the bandits saw their leader dead, they all fled in all directions, but Zeng Si, holding the soft sword in his hand, chased and killed them relentlessly. His movements were swift and his swordsmanship was sharp and experienced. He had no intention of leaving any survivors.
When Zhao Changhe saw Zeng Si, he guessed that the veiled woman in black was Yan Yu, and thought that she was also here to deal with the Li family. When he was happy, he saw Zeng Si attacking Jiugang Village, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
But Huan Yu did not give him the chance to ask. She jumped up and quickly unsheathed the sword in her hand. Zhao Changhe cried out inwardly that something was wrong and tried to escape quickly. Before he could turn around, the sword cut off his head.
Xuan Yu acted ruthlessly and decisively without any hesitation, which instantly shocked An Ge and An Yun. Although they were still unsure of the identity of this mysterious woman and did not know whether she was helping them, when they saw Zhao Changhe's body and head separated, they could not help but feel a sense of pleasure that the evildoer had been punished.
After dealing with Zhao Changhe and seeing Zeng Si chasing the fleeing bandits, Xuan Yu finally felt at ease to remove her veil and return to Li Yunye.
