Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Chapter 501: Wulezhi Attacks

In the mountains and dense forests, a group of people watched the imperial guards heading north with murderous looks in their eyes.

"Capture Li Cunxi tonight."

The leader, Ulezhi, suppressed his murderous intent.

"This boy is smart and clever. If he is not useful to our Dulu tribe, he will definitely be a hazard to our Dulu tribe."

Wulezhi, who had been hiding outside the city for a long time, had already learned the news that Li Cunxi had reached a high position in the government.

It is incredible that he has already reached the highest position in the government at the age of just over ten.

At the same time, it also made Wulezhi more determined to kidnap Li Cunxi.

A group of wind riders followed behind, looking in the direction of the imperial guards.

……

Yangzhou.

In the governor's mansion.

Prince Ying Yuanqi came with Long Feng and met Cui Liang, the governor of Yangzhou, Wu Wendeng, the chief officer of Yangzhou, and Yang Jiuchen, the grain transport envoy.

After some discussion, the five people decided on the specific action to intercept salt in the Hang Canal.

In order to avoid future conflicts, everyone also discussed the specific distribution of benefits.

"I hope we can cooperate sincerely and make money together."

Yuan Qi laughed, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out like a blooming wild chrysanthemum.

"Your Highness Prince Ying, I wish us a pleasant cooperation. Today is an auspicious day. How about we go have lunch together at noon?"

"That's not necessary. My identity is really special. If I rashly appear with you, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble."

Cui Liang, Wu Wendeng and Yang Jiuchen escorted Yuan Qi and Long Feng out of the second hall and watched them leave before returning.

Facing the amiable Ying Wang Yuanqi today, Wu Wendeng, who had been dealing with him for many years, frowned.

"Prince Ying Yuanqi is a little different from before."

Cui Liang, the governor of Yangzhou, who looked very similar to the current crown prince, also nodded.

Although he seldom saw Yuan Qi, he knew that this man who was crowned king for his military merits was not a good person.

Who would have known that after Yuan Qi took the initiative to come forward, he would appear to be so friendly.

The transport envoy Yang Jiucheng stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"At any time in the past, Prince Ying Yuanqi would never speak to us like this."

"The amiable Prince Ying Yuanqi has actually only changed in recent years."

"Have you two forgotten the assassination attempt on Li Cunxi by the Iron Hand Group a few years ago?"

After being reminded by Yang Jiuchen, Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng immediately remembered.

Li Cunxi, who is now the governor of Henan Prefecture in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was assassinated twice by the Iron Hand Group when he was on patrol on behalf of the emperor a few years ago.

"It turns out that he has a lot to do with this matter. Speaking of which, we should thank Li Fumu."

Cui Liang picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, then put it down, his eyes shining with pride.

"If it weren't for Li Fumu changing Prince Ying Yuanqi's temperament, I'm afraid they would still be so arrogant when they came to seek cooperation today."

"Ask the kitchen to bring us some food. We'll eat and talk about how to get the eight counties in Huaibei to stop shipping salt."

……

At night, the spring nights are not as bitterly cold as the winter nights.

In the middle of the night, Li Cunxi did not sleep, but walked out of the Yongchang County Post Station alone. Only Ma Rong and Wu Yanhao accompanied him.

Even Lu Dayou, who was usually inseparable from Li Cunxi, was rarely present tonight.

The three of them walked for a long time and finally arrived at the outskirts of Yongchang County.

The three of them chatted as they walked.

Soon, the three of them came to the edge of a large lake. The boundless moonlight poured down, falling on the sparkling lake surface.

Li Cunxi was uneducated, and seeing this picturesque scene, he could only sigh:

“That’s fucking awesome.”

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard from a certain direction. Ma Rong took a deep breath, turned towards the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from, and protected Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao behind him.

In the moonlight, a group of cavalrymen rode over. They were dressed exactly like Western bandits, wearing white clothes and white scarves, and holding sharp knives in their hands.

The leader had two knives on his waist and his eyes were like a ferocious tiger. He kept staring at Li Cunxi from a distance.

"Yanhao, I told you, you insisted on coming even though I didn't let you follow me."

"Now, the three of us are facing so many cavalrymen. If we are not careful, we will die."

Li Cunxi smiled and drew out the Youlan sword from his waist.

However, he was not sure of successfully killing the person, after all, he was facing a wind rider.

This group of people are all experts among experts, and their individual combat capabilities far exceed those of soldiers from other armies.

"I can't let you two mess around."

Wu Yanhao chuckled and drew his sword.

Ma Rong, holding a knife in his hand, frowned and calculated the distance between the two sides.

"Why don't you run?"

The wind riders stopped about ten meters away. Ulezhi reined in his horse and asked in confusion.

Li Cunxi said sincerely: "Because I can't run faster than him."

"Then why did you come out tonight?" Wu Lezhi asked again.

"You have been following me since the Turkic period. It has been a long time and you still refuse to leave. I have no choice but to lure you into the trap."

"Is this a trap?"

"Probably. If you want to give it a try, you can come up and give it a try."

Li Cunxi spread his hands, as if everything was under control.

Wulezhi's face hidden under the gauze was gloomy and uncertain. He didn't expect that Li Cunxi would take such a risk to get rid of them.

"Aren't you afraid of dying in my hands?"

Wulezhi pointed his knife at Li Cunxi and smiled sinisterly.

"You won't kill me. If you were following me to kill me, you would have done it a long time ago."

"I, Li Cunxi, am still alive today, which means none of you want to kill me, right?"

"Let me guess. It's Prince Helu of the Duluwu tribe. He wants you to take me to the Duluwu tribe and serve him. Is that right?"

Li Cunxi patted his face and suppressed the sleepiness that was rising in his mind.

He had been tossed around all day and hadn't had a good night's sleep, so naturally he was not in good shape.

However, facing a master like Wulezhi, he had to be more alert.

"System, check Ulezhi's force value."

"Ule's strength: 101 points."

After receiving a positive answer from the system, Li Cunxi instantly became alert.

Ma Rong's combat power is only 92, and his chances of winning against Ulezhi are almost zero.

If they are not careful, the only one who can survive among the three of them will be Li Cunxi himself.

"Li Cunxi, will you follow me to the Duluwu tribe obediently, or will I kill your people and then take you to the Duluwu tribe."

Wu Lezhi was afraid that something might happen if he was too late, so he drew out his two swords and spoke slowly.

"Since you've already admitted it, there's no need for me to hide it. Did you notice that a lot of people disappeared from my guards while they were following me?"

Li Cunxi smiled and clapped his hands. The people hiding in the woods on all sides lit torches and rushed out. There were more than two hundred people.

The demon spirit and shadow arrived late, also rushed from Yongchang County with 500 soldiers of the imperial guard, and got behind the wind rider.

At the critical moment when they were about to be surrounded, Wuerzhi raised his weapon and shouted:

"Kill out!"
