The Book of Heaven

Chapter 413
Even though Li Zong had made preparations in advance, it seemed that these preparations were not sufficient. Even Li Zong himself planned to escape from Tianshui City.

"According to the original plan, we will develop in the northwest direction."

Looking at the four people kneeling in front of him on one knee, a glimmer of hope rose in Li Yan's heart. There is no place to keep people here, but there is a place to keep them!
But before fleeing for his life, Li Yan felt that several people must pay the price!

"The names on this list, the old man doesn't want to hear the news that they are still alive, and pass on an order. Once my Li family members see these people, they will kill them at all costs!"

Li Yan took out a list from his pocket and threw it to one of the four people in front of him.From the beginning to the end, these four people did not speak, but silently obeyed Li Yan's orders.As the saying goes, a centipede is dead but not stiff, how could such a behemoth like the Li family not have its own background?

Although it is impossible to cultivate a talented young man like Ma Zheng, and there is no martial arts genius like Zhao Shuying and Huang Che, and there is even no family martial arts that can reach the realm of the holy hall, but killing people has nothing to do with martial arts. , For example, training some slayers who would not even care about their own lives in order to kill people.

Dead soldiers are people who exchange their own lives for the lives of their targets. Most of them are orphans, or they were not orphans at first, but they became orphans because of needs. They were cultivated in a cruel and ruthless way. When the dead men were used, it was almost decided that these dead men would never come back.

Disposable consumables, this is the fate of the dead.In this era, many families will raise their own dead soldiers, and use these dead soldiers when necessary.

Now that the Li family was on the verge of life and death, Li Yan had no choice but to continue westward to see if he could use the wealth that had already been transferred to the Northwest to help the Li family stand up again.The sober Li Yan is actually terrifying. He knows how to build a power. He only needs two things, money and fists.

The Li family is not short of wealth, and the Li family is not weak in fists, so even if the matter has been revealed, Li Yan will not despair, but will hate the empire instead.

"Why, why do those families have the right to be superior all the time, why can't our Li family become a first-class nobleman! The old man refuses to accept it. Those with the surname Liu, you all wait for the old man, and the old man will definitely kill him in his lifetime, definitely will! "In the dark hours before dawn, the core members of the Li family left Tianshui City quietly, because Li Zong had already controlled the defense work of the entire Tianshui City. After prior arrangements, the Li family was responsible for guarding the northwest gate today. The direct line, naturally opened the door early to let people out.

When the people in the city realized that the situation was wrong, the city guard's mansion suddenly burst into flames. The intensity of the flames was obviously not caused by the dry weather, but because someone set fire on all sides, so that Nuo Da's house was burned down in half a day. If it wasn't for the people from the Mawang Mansion to organize everyone to put out the fire, to overthrow the isolation zone and separate the entire city guard mansion, the fire might have burned down half of Tianshui City.

"This Li Yan is really cruel!"

Ma Daogong didn't leave Tianshui City during this time, he just stayed in Mawang's mansion. Although there is Ma Wangye in Mawang's mansion, Ma Daogong is always the head of the Ma family.There is a Ma Zheng from the Ma family who is qualified to go to the church, so Ma Daogong has no reason not to care.Ma Daoming came back a few days ago and said that the situation was very optimistic, but who knew that in less than three days, the news sent back from the holy hall took a turn for the worse. Guan Moyun personally ordered, in other words, as long as Guan Moyun is still the hall master, Ma Zheng will never have the chance to enter the hall again in this life!
Fortunately, there is good news later on, Ma Zheng's good brother Huang Che successfully passed the test and became a candidate for the temple. If there is no accident, the next hall master should fall on Huang Che. For some reason, maybe things can turn around in the future.

What happened suddenly in Tianshui City made Ma Daogong feel a little bit taken aback. Why did Li Yan suddenly burn down his mansion and escape, what was the reason, and where was he going? There are no answers to these questions for the time being.One afternoon and one afternoon, Ma Daogong was busy directing the firefighting. After all, when Li Yan ran like this, the whole Tianshui City was looking at the Ma Palace. He was so busy that he didn't have time until midnight to discuss this matter with Ma Daoming who came back a few days ago.

"You and I also know that in recent years, the Li family has gotten too close to those forces on the northwest border. In fact, it's not that the Li family has no good seeds. I think Li Yuan and his son are good, but it's a pity that this old man is an old man. Confused!" Ma Daoming has lived in Jiazibao for many years, and he knows much more about the affairs of the northwest border than Ma Daogong.

The business route of the Li family has to pass through more than a dozen forces in the northwest. Unlike the deterrent force of the Ma family in the northwest, the only way for the Li family's caravan to successfully pass these forces is to buy them with money and then plant them in to cultivate them. Direct lineage is time-consuming and labor-intensive and prone to failure.

Relatively speaking, the Ma family's method was simple and rude. The Ma family's army came out with horses, and those who refused to accept were directly subdued. Therefore, the business of the Ma family's caravan in the northwest was actually going smoothly.However, as soon as the incident about Li Yan happened, Ma Daogong immediately thought of the business between his family and the Northwest.

"It must be broken, hurry up, the fastest speed!"

"Okay!" Ma Daoming nodded, turned around and beckoned to one of his subordinates, and asked them to arrange it immediately. Everyone has experience in this kind of thing, and it is not troublesome. Besides, it is not a complete abandonment, but a temporary interruption of time. For the Ma family It is said that the impact will not be too great, but those forces in the northwest will suddenly lose such a large caravan as the Ma family, and it will become extremely sad in the next six months or even a year.

It should be said that Ma Daogong's decision was very timely. On the second day after the city guard's mansion caught fire, the imperial court's secret order arrived, but the angel who delivered the order was surprised to find that he could not find the person who received the order——Li Zan did not know whereabouts .

The so-called unknown whereabouts were just the court's public statement. After the angel knew that the city lord's mansion had been burned by fire, he immediately went to Ma Wang's mansion and asked to see Ma Wangye.

After meeting Lord Ma, the angel met Ma Daogong, the Patriarch of the Ma family, and took out another imperial edict from his bosom to ask Ma Daogong to accept it.

There is no need to doubt the wisdom of today's son. While giving the imperial decree to appease Li Yan, he also prepared another imperial decree for the Ma family in the northwest. , be sure to accomplish two things.

The first thing is to find Li Zhi and all the Li family members who have fled, and there will be rewards whether they live or die.The second thing is to immediately send people to the army led by Li Yuan and his son. Don't seize power, but must monitor their actions to ensure that Li Yuan and his son will not do anything harmful to the interests of the empire.

After receiving the imperial decree, Ma Daogong felt even more headache.
