Chapter 258: Fear

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Jinghong, I didn’t expect Li Yuanshao to be so capable!” Chu Qingzhi’s impression of Li Yuanshao changed drastically.

Tang Jinghong was also very surprised. “He used a weak exterior to hide his ambition and fooled everyone for so many years. Li Yuanshao is indeed not to be underestimated.”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “What do you plan to do?”

Tang Jinghong thought for a moment and said, “I want to give him a test. As long as he passes, I can consider making him the Lord of the Northern Border.” Chu Qingzhi asked with some concern, “Will the Emperor agree?”

Tang Jinghong said, “As long as he doesn’t have ambitions he shouldn’t have, the Emperor can let anyone take the position of the Lord of the Northern Border.”

Chu Qingzhi understood. “Then let’s go see Li Yuanshao.”

Tang Jinghong put down the letter and pulled Chu Qingzhi’s hand. “There’s no hurry. You should sleep now.” With that, he carried Chu Qingzhi and placed her on the bed.

Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong and said coquettishly, “I haven’t showered yet. Besides, I’m hungry.”

Tang Jinghong leaned over and kissed Chu Qingzhi’s forehead. ‘Til get the waiter to bring you hot water and cook a bowl of noodles for you.”

Chu Qingzhi grabbed Tang Jinghong’s hand and blinked. “Are you going to cook for me personally?”

Tang Jinghong guessed what Chu Qingzhi meant and asked, “Do you think my cooking doesn’t taste good?”

Chu Qingzhi immediately said, “I definitely didn’t mean that. I just don’t want you to tire yourself out.”

Tang Jinghong smiled and said, “I’m fine. Making a bowl of noodles is not hard.”

Chu Qingzhi quite liked it when Tang Jinghong doted on her. She said, “Then 1’11 wait to eat.”

“Okay.” Tang Jinghong left the room and went to the kitchen.

Chu Qingzhi smiled until her eyes curved.

Not long after, Tang Jinghong brought her noodles. “Qingzhi, come and eat.”

Chu Qingzhi walked over and said in surprise, “There’s braised meat?”

Tang Jinghong said, “It’s made by the inn. I tried it and it’s quite delicious, so I bought some. Hurry up and eat.”

“Okay.” Chu Qingzhi started eating in enjoyment.

Not long after, a secret guard flew in through the window and sent a message. “General, Li Yuanshao and the others are being surrounded by unknown people. Should we interfere?”

“Keep watching. Unless Li Yuanshao’s life is in danger, don’t make a move.”

“Yes, General.”

The secret guard flashed and disappeared.

Chu Qingzhi ate her noodles unhurriedly. Of course, she did not miss their conversation. “Jinghong, who wants to kill him?”

Tang Jinghong returned to his room. “I’m not sure. Qingzhi, eat quickly. After eating, sleep. You haven’t had a good rest for many days. Even if the sky collapses today, I won’t let anyone disturb your sleep.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled. “Alright, 1’11 sleep after eating and become a little piggy.”

Chu Qingzhi’s beautiful face was reflected in Tang Jinghong’s eyes. “Even if you are a little piggy, you are still the cutest little piggy.”

Chu Qingzhi didn’t know what to say.

After dinner, Chu Qingzhi went to take a shower before hitting the bed.

Tang Jinghong went to the next room to rest. He had not had a good rest for many days and was very tense. He needed a good sleep, or his mind would be slow.

In an ordinary courtyard.

People who came to take his life were aggressive, so Li Yuanshao had no choice but to use his hidden killers.

At this moment, the battle between the two sides was extremely intense. The sound of swords colliding continuously sounded. The sabers and swords were constantly dyed red with blood, and people fell one after another…

Li Yuanshao was not as weak as he normally looked like. He stood under the roof and looked at the masked man in black standing on the roof. “Who are you?”

The masked man’s words were very infuriating. “The dead don’t need to know.”

Li Yuanshao sneered, “What if you’re the one who dies?”

The masked man looked very confident. “In my world, there are no what ifs. Li Yuanshao, don’t worry. I won’t kill you. After all, he doesn’t want you to die.”

Li Yuanshao was shocked. “Who?”

“You’ll know when the time comes!” The masked man looked at Li Yuanshao with disdain. It was no wonder a man would take a fancy to Li Yuanshao. He was indeed good-looking.

Anger surged in Li Yuanshao’s heart. He wanted the person opposite him… to die!

Soon, as he had hoped, the masked man was shot in the heart and died.

The people he brought were gradually wiped out by Li Yuanshao’s men.

Li Yuanshao asked his men to tie up the survivors and interrogated them.

Those people did not have any integrity and confessed easily.

Much to everyone’s surprise, those people were sent by Princess Consort, the first wife of the Lord of the Northern Border. The Princess Consort was angry that Li Yuanshao had seduced Li Yuan’an and even caused Li Yuan’an to have a strange illness. She wanted to punish him, so this happened.

Li Yuanshao was furious. He sent someone back to the mansion and kidnapped Li Yuan’an.

Ever since the Lord of the Northern Border left, the guards in the mansion became relaxed. It was easy to take someone away.

When Li Yuan’an saw that Li Yuanshao actually dared to tie him up, he was furious. “Li Yuanshao, send me back. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”

A subordinate brought over a chair.

Li Yuanshao lifted the hem of his robe and sat down elegantly. His every move was so refined. “Li Yuan’an, get a grasp of reality. You’re in my hands now.”

Li Yuan’an looked at Li Yuanshao and then at the killers behind him. He suddenly felt that his delicate younger brother seemed to be different. “You, you’re not Li Yuanshao. Who are you?”

Li Yuanshao’s slender fingers gripped the armrest slightly. “I’ll bring you to see the real me.”

He got up. “Take him away!”

At the Joy Pavilion.

This was the largest male brothel in the northern border city. It was a place that Li Yuan’an often visited. There were all kinds of men inside. Some were powerful, some were weak, some were strong, some were tall, and some were thin.

Li Yuan’an was a little afraid. “Li Yuanshao, what are you doing?”

“I’m bringing you to enjoy carnal pleasure. It’s free,” Li Yuanshao turned around and said. Then, he led his people upstairs.

He came in through the back door like a master, and no one stopped him along the way.

Li Yuan’an looked around uneasily. The place that he used to like the most was now terrifying. “Li Yuanshao, what are you trying to do?”

Li Yuanshao ignored him and walked upstairs.

Li Yuan’an roared, “Li Yuanshao, what are you doing? Let me go, let me go!”

Li Yuanshao turned around and made a shushing gesture at him. His jade-like fingers were placed on his red lips, and there was actually a hint of seductiveness in his actions.

Then, someone took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Li Yuan’an’s mouth.

Li Yuan’an’s face turned red. He was overwhelmed with fear. The Li Yuanshao in front of him was definitely not Li Yuanshao.. He looked so terrifying, like a ghost walking in the night!
