Chapter 49: The Scheming Ye Luqi

  "Yunfeng brother, have you woken up?"

  With bleary eyes, Lu Wushuang squeezed into Chen Yunfeng's arms and lazily asked, "Chen Yunfeng patted her back and got up, letting the maid outside prepare the washbasin, and after cleaning up, he was ready to leave.

  Lu Wushuang's small face was flushed as she followed Chen Yunfeng, last night she actually slept with Chen Yunfeng, although nothing happened, for her it was equivalent to giving herself away.

  As he walked to the gate, Chen Yunfeng's carriage was already ready. In order to flatter him, the timid Yelü Jin had even filled the carriage with precious furs and a whole box of gold ingots was placed inside. The entire Yelü Chucuo family was indeed here waiting to see him off.

  "Chen Shaohua, I've prepared everything, but I don't know about the antidote for the Tiger Leopard Dragon Snake Dan..." Yelü Jin asked anxiously as he saw Chen Yunfeng help Lu Wushuang onto the horse carriage.

  Chen Yunfeng patted his shoulder, glanced at Ye Lü Chucai who was still calm and Ye Lü Qizhi whose eyes were sharp, then whispered in his ear:

  "Didn't you sleep with Mrs. Zun last night? Hurry up and find her, coming ten times within a day can detoxify, remember to exceed ten times, or the toxin will erupt again, got it?"

  As soon as he heard about the detoxification method, Ye Luojin's eyes widened in incredulity. However, for the sake of his life, he quickly nodded and said:

  "I'll strive for a day without rest and exhaust all the toxins, so I won't delay Chen Shaohua's journey."

  Yelu Jin finished speaking and rushed into the gate, not even caring about his father, younger brother or sister. Yelu Chucui watched as Yelu Jin stumbled and staggered into the courtyard, his brow furrowed in concern. He turned back to Chen Yunfeng and said in a low voice:

  "Chen Xiaoxia, have a good trip, and be careful of robbers along the way with so much gold."

  Chen Yunfeng waved his hand, jumped onto the carriage and whipped the horse to drive away. Yelü Chucui's mouth twitched slightly, her voice cold and menacing as she said:

  "Alright, is everything arranged?"

  Yelü Qi's long face cracked a smile, and only after Yelü Yan had gone in with an expression of discontent did he say:

  "Father, this Chen Yunfeng absolutely cannot be left alive. Yesterday, the probing words he spoke, I suspect he already knows some of our Ye family's secrets. So, I've sent someone to notify the Black Tiger Fort people to make sure they take care of these people before entering Xiangyang."

  "Have you informed the Black Tiger Fort? That's our last part of the army and brave warriors. Back then, when Yanjing was about to be destroyed, in order to preserve our strength, I surrendered to Genghis Khan, this powerful enemy. So many years have passed, and just as I'm about to grasp absolute power over Mongolia, unexpectedly the Empress Dowager took power, and I had no choice but to flee for my life."

  "Now our Yelü family is the only remaining great Liao imperial clan, and the opportunity to contend for the throne depends on the wealth we've accumulated and the military strength of the Black Tiger Fort. Once they are exposed, we will be in danger." Yelü Chucài furrowed his brow, gently stroking his long beard and speaking in a low voice.

  "No big deal, I'll let Xiao Jia San Hu go out and the rest of you stay still. This way, they can rob and kill Chen Yunfeng as Jianghu people, and everything will be fine." Yelü Qi said lightly with a slight smile on his lips.

  Yelu Chucai nodded, the three Xiao family members were practicing the Liehuquan of the Da Jinmen School's Liehutang, and the three of them were still practicing their combined martial arts skills. They are now top-notch masters, even ordinary super-first-class warriors would find it difficult to beat them.

  Although Chen Yunfeng was quite skilled with his hands, he wasn't a top-notch master after all. It wouldn't be easy to leave their clutches with an injured person in tow.

  Yelü's family didn't know the plan of Chen Yunfeng, and not long after they left Longji Inn, he saw Wanyan Ping standing by the roadside looking around constantly.

  As the carriage stopped beside Wanyan Ping, she looked at Chen Yunfeng and called out in a soft voice:

  "Master, I've been waiting for a long time."

  Just like a spoiled little girl, Wan Yanping jumped onto the horse carriage, and Chen Yunfeng chuckled and said:

  "Go inside, the person in there is Wuduan's sister. You can chat with her if you have nothing to do, I still need to hurry on my way."

  Wanyan Ping got into the carriage and saw a white-clad girl who looked delicate and pretty, Lu Wushuang was stunned for a moment. Last night, she just discovered that her master seemed to have taken a liking to Cheng Ying, and now he brought another beautiful girl here. Listening to their conversation, this Lu Wushuang was still Cheng Ying's cousin, could it be that Master planned to take down the two sisters together?

  Wanyan Pingke thought it was settled. All of Master's women had to be won over, so as soon as she got into the carriage, she smiled and said:

  "This is Lu Niang, I am Wanyan Ping, Master's first disciple."

  "Wanyan Ping, what a nice name! I'm 16 this year, how about you?" Seeing a girl of similar age, Lu Wushuang also asked happily.

  "I'm seventeen, and you're still one year younger than me, so I'll call you Little Sister Wú Shuāng?" said Wányán Píng with a smile as she sat down beside Lù Wú Shuāng.

  "Really, Wanyan sister, how did you think of having Yunfeng brother as a disciple? He seems to be only seventeen years old..."

  Two girls in the carriage chatted familiarly, Chen Yunfeng drove the horse-drawn vehicle towards Xiangyang direction. He bought a lot of dry food when he left Longjiashan, so he didn't enter the town to rest on the way. As one day passed, the horse-drawn vehicle went deep into the mountains.

  Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Chen Yunfeng looked around at the mountain slopes along the way, these places seemed treacherous and gloomy, not a place where ordinary people would dare to stay even after dark.

  "Vroom... Vroom..."

  A sudden rush of horseshoes came from behind, Chen Yunfeng turned his head to look, three fast horses were swiftly passing by the side of the carriage. The three riders on the horse had almost identical faces, with ring eyes, thick eyebrows and a face full of steel needle-like whiskers that looked very ferocious. However, none of these men carried any weapons, copper buckles protected their arms, at a glance it was clear they were skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

  Chen Yunfeng watched the three people walking away and thought to himself: "It's almost dark, and these few people are still rushing on the road. From here to Shanyang County, it will take more than three hours. It's impossible to rush at night."

  With his skillful hands that were already considered top-notch in the Jianghu, Chen Yunfeng didn't have much to worry about. Now that Lu Wushuang had Wan Yanping taking care of him and Cheng Ying secretly protecting him, even if a fight broke out, he would be much more at ease.

  The carriage continued on its way, taking advantage of the remaining daylight. Half a stick of incense later, Chen Yunfeng saw a dilapidated temple appear by the side of the road not far ahead. He hastily whipped the horse to hurry the carriage along, and when they arrived at the temple, he found that the three burly men were feeding their horses on one side, while on the other side an old Daoist priest in his fifties or sixties sat by a fire muttering to himself and shaking his head.

  Chen Yunfeng stopped the horse carriage in the small temple courtyard, and only then did he begin to carefully examine this place. He said that this was a dilapidated temple, and it really was in disrepair. The original temple had completely collapsed, leaving only this small yard with walls that could still provide some shelter from the wind.
