In the original novel, Liu Hong had an accomplice named Li Biao, who did this heaven-shaking business with him.
However, this guy was just a bit player. All the good things were taken by Liu Hong, and he ended up being beheaded.
Oh, right, the memories in Li Xiu's mind told him that this Li Biao was his brother from the same clan. In fact, he had to call Li Biao 'clan brother'.
It was also because of this relationship that Li Xiu's body appeared on this ship and was hired by Li Biao to help!
"Brother, where are you going?"
Li Biao stared at Li Xiu and asked coldly.
" Brother Biao, I heard shouting outside," Li Xiu said, pretending to panic.
"It's none of your business. Go in and wait obediently!”Li Biao rudely interrupted Li Xiu.
"Brother Biao, I know what you're doing!”
At this moment, Li Xiu suddenly lowered his voice and took a few steps forward to stand in front of Li Biao.
"Did you make a move on Scholar Chen?”
"What is it? You…"
Li Biao was shocked when he heard Li Xiu call out their plan.
At this moment, a sharp blade pierced into Li Biao's heart. Li Biao let out a low cry and raised his head. What he saw was Li Xiu's indifferent gaze!
"I'm sorry, clan brother. I don't want to die with you!”
Without hesitation, Li Xiu pulled out his dagger and walked over Li Biao's corpse.
Stepping over Li Biao's corpse, Li Xiu wiped the blood off the dagger and walked out of the cabin.
On the deck, Liu Hong was currently tugging at Yin Wenjiao, his face full of arrogance.
"Miss, that Chen Zhuangyuan is already dead. If you obey me, everything will be over! If you don't obey, I'll definitely kill you today and end this once and for all!”
At this moment, Yin Wenjiao looked at the rude and unreasonable Liu Hong. She was worried about her husband's death, but she was also terrified of this barbarian. She was at a loss.
"Brother Liu, something happened!"
At this moment, Li Xiu pretended to panic and ran out of the cabin. He ran towards Liu Hong and shouted as he ran.
"My clan brother Li Biao, he…"
Liu Hong was surprised to be interrupted by Li Xiu. He was dissatisfied, but after hearing Li Xiu's shout, he was curious.
According to his discussion with Li Biao, he would kill Chen Guangrui, and Li Biao would kill Chen Guangrui's servant. Could something have gone wrong?
"What are you panicking for? Tell me, what happened?”
After all, Liu Hong was a ruthless person. He forced himself to calm down and asked.
Li Xiu had already approached him, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"You…"
Before Liu Hong could react, Li Xiu's dagger had already stabbed into his abdomen.
"My clan brother Li Biao is waiting for you in the netherworld!”
"On the road to the netherworld, remember that I'm the one who killed you. My name is Li Xiu, the Xiu of everything!”
After Li Xiu finished speaking, he pulled out the dagger and stabbed it a few more times without hesitation. Liu Hong's body gradually turned cold as he looked at Li Xiu with hatred.
He had never thought that his plan would be foiled by such an unremarkable pawn.
The problem was, why did Li Xiu want to kill him?
Liu Hong's body slowly fell to the ground. At this moment, Li Xiu heaved a sigh of relief!
Then, Li Xiu turned to look at Yin Wenjiao, who was standing there in a daze.
What was going on?
How could this vicious villain be killed by this handsome young man in the blink of an eye?
She had an impression of this young man. He was the brother of a boatman on the ship and had come up to help. So this was?
"Furen, don't be afraid. Li Xiu isn't a bad person!”
Since he had decided on option two, Li Xiu naturally decided to act to the end.
"This Duke of Wei and my elder brother Li Biao actually conspired to murder the top scorer and his wife. That Liu Hong even wanted to take over his wife and replace the title of top scorer to take up his post in Jiang Prefecture!”
"Although I haven't read much, I know loyalty, shame, and the laws of the torture hall. I don't want to be involved in this disaster. After thinking about it, I can only kill the thief. Unfortunately, I didn't save the top scholar!”
"Thank you for saving me, but I pity my husband. Forget it, I'll leave with my husband!”
After Yin Wenjiao regained her senses, she first thanked Li Xiu. Then, she recalled her previous encounter and had the intention of seeking death again.
"Looking at this Miss Yin, she's also a chaste woman. How did she end up following Liu Hong for eighteen years?”
Li Xiu looked at the scene in front of him and sighed in his heart. However, he couldn't just watch Yin Wenjiao jump into the river like that.
After all, his mission was not only to kill Liu Hong, but also to protect Yin Wenjiao.
"Furen, don't be in a hurry to seek death. Don't think that the top scholar might not die just like this!”
"Xio just saw that evil thief Liu Hong only knocked the top scholar into the river. At this moment, the wind is strong and the waves are strong. After the top scholar falls into the river, he might not die.”
"There are quite a few people who fall into the Xunyang River every year, but not many die from drowning. It must be understood that people can float on the surface of the water. After the boat reaches the shore, we will send people to search the riverbank. Perhaps we will be able to find the champion who rushed to the riverbank!”
Yin Wenjiao had already made up her mind to die with Chen Guangrui, but after hearing Li Xiu's words, she slowly calmed down.
If what this young man said was true, her husband might not have died.
More importantly, she already had her husband's flesh and blood. If she died just like that, wouldn't the Chen family have to cover up for her!
Thinking of this, Yin Wenjiao's heart loosened up.
"Is what you said true?"
"Madam, you might not know this, but everyone by the river knows that if you fall into the river, the chances of life and death are 50 - 50. Some obese people don't even sink after falling into the river. That's why I said that the top scholar might not die!”
Li Xiu naturally knew that Chen Guangrui wasn't dead. The current him had probably been taken away by the Dragon King of Xunyang River and was quietly staying in the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the river. Only Chen Xuanzang could come and ask for his corpse.
Seeing that Yin Wenjiao's thoughts had softened, Li Xiu continued to persuade her, finally making her stop thinking about it.
After persuading Yin Wenjiao to return to her cabin, Li Xiu disposed of the corpses of Liu Hong and the others and threw them into the Xunyang River.
Other than Liu Hong and Li Biao, there were two other people who had died on the ship. One was Chen Guangrui's servant, and the other was Yin Wenjiao's maid. Clearly, these two had been killed by Li Biao.
After dealing with the corpses, Li Xiu returned to the deck. At this moment, only he and Yin Wenjiao were left on the huge boat.
"Alright, hold on until the boat reaches shore tomorrow. The mission should be completed!”Li Xiu thought to himself.
At this moment, a thick fog suddenly appeared on the river.
In a trance, a mocking voice sounded in Li Xiu's ears.
"You little brat, you've ruined the great event of our Buddhist Sect. In that case, you'll replace the boatman and go in to enjoy yourself!”
Then, Li Xiu felt his heart thump. He stood up in a daze and walked into the cabin.
