In the original prefect's manor in Taiyuan City, a series of coughs sounded.
"My son…Is there any news?"
Li Yuan looked at Li Shi Min and asked.
After a few days of recuperation, other than coughing, he was basically fine. His entire face was much better.
However, there was always a hint of pain between the father and son's brows, and their eyes flickered with killing intent from time to time.
Hatred would not disappear with the passage of time. Instead, it would become stronger.
"Duke, there's news."
Li Shi Min sighed and was about to shake his head when a sound came from outside the door.
Liu Hongji, Pei Ji, and the others lifted the hem of their robes and walked quickly toward the yamen hall.
"Could it be news about Lin Changye?"
Seeing his subordinate Liu Hongji in such a hurry, Li Yuan asked with his eyes wide open.
"Huff huff, that bastard used a few thousand soldiers in Pingyuan County.”
Liu Hongji panted heavily. It was obvious that he had rushed to the Tang Public House as soon as he heard the news.
"Are you saying that Lin Changye used only a few thousand soldiers to raise an army in Pingyuan County?”
Li Yuan suspected that he had heard wrongly and asked again.
"Yes, Duke, you didn't hear wrongly. It's just a few thousand troops, haha!”
Liu Hongji stroked his beard and laughed.
"How dare he raise an army with just a few thousand soldiers? Lin Changye is really a yellow-haired brat.”
"Does this guy think that raising an army is like a child running a family?”
"Haha, this fellow is in a hurry to die!”
At this moment, Pei Ji and the others also looked at each other and laughed loudly. There were even some who directly held their bellies and laughed until many tears hung from the corners of their eyes.
"Hehe, this guy is busy sending his head to me.”
Li Yuan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with killing intent and disdain.
He had been worried that after Lin Changye escaped from Taiyuan, he would choose to hide in the mountains and become difficult to find.
He really didn't expect that this survivor not only didn't escape into the deep mountains and forests, but also raised an army in Pingyuan County with only a few thousand soldiers. This move was really funny.
One had to know that the Li family had spent a lot of time to raise an army. While gathering money, they also had to obtain the support of the aristocratic families.
It could be said that they only dared to raise an army now!
Furthermore, the Lin family had just been wiped out. Apart from a few thousand soldiers, Lin Changye did not have the support of the aristocratic families or sufficient money to support him. Such an army was like child's play.
"Congratulations, Duke. Soon, you will be able to kill the remaining enemies of the Lin family.”
"How can there be such an ignorant person in the world? In such a situation, he still wants to raise an army to seize the world?”
"You're really a yellow-haired waiter. How ignorant!”
There were also some people from the aristocratic families who scoffed at Lin Changye's actions.
"Since Lin Changye is in Pingyuan County, doesn't that mean Wugou is also here?”
Li Shi Min's breath suddenly stopped. Now he finally knew where his sweetheart was.
"Does anyone have any suggestions?"
Li Yuan raised his voice to signal for everyone to be quiet. After knowing where Lin Changye was, he stopped coughing.
"Duke, I have a brilliant plan.”
Liu Wenjing shook her wide sleeves and walked out.
"Tell me about it."
Li Yuan nodded and used his eyes to signal his trusted aide to tell him.
"There are many rebel armies near Pingyuan County. The Duke can use these forces to eliminate Lin Changye.”
Liu Wenjing stroked her beard and said.
"The State Duke only needs to promise that if he destroys Lin Changye's forces and brings Lin Changye to Taiyuan, in addition to the previous reward, the Li family will also promise him a favor.”
At this moment, Pei Ji continued to speak, using a deadly poison move.
"Not bad, not bad."
Li Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under great rewards.
Moreover, the Li family, one of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, had a high value.
Most of these Revolutionary Army factions were after fame and fortune. Making the Li Clan owe them a favor was extremely beneficial to the Revolutionary Army.
Moreover, there was also a gold reward and the title of captain. Even if it was just in name, it could still be related to the Li family.
If they wanted all of this, they would only need to attack Lin Changye, who only had a few thousand soldiers. These people had their own plans for this deal.
"Pass on my order. Spread the news to the direction of Jizhou. If you capture Lin Changye alive, the reward will be doubled. If you get his body and head, the reward will be doubled.”
Li Yuan felt satisfied just thinking about it. He no longer hesitated and immediately gave the order.
"State Duke, don't worry. We will definitely do this well!”
In response, the laughter of everyone present became much thicker. The remaining members of the Lin family were dead for sure. They could offend anyone but the Li family.
In almost no time, relevant notices were posted in Taiyuan, and the news began to spread.
"Father, I have a presumptuous request!”
After those people left, Li Shi Min, who had been silent all this while, walked over with red eyes.
"What presumptuous request do you have?"
Li Yuan looked at his second son and had some guesses.
"This child implores father to send out the men of sacrifice to take back Wugou. This child is afraid that things will change if it is too late.”
Li Shi Min gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Since he knew Wugou's whereabouts, he naturally had to bring her back quickly. Otherwise, if he delayed any longer, something bad might happen.
He would regret this for the rest of his life!
"Sigh, this matter is naturally possible. How can it be considered a presumptuous request? It's just that I pity that girl Wugou.”
Li Yuan sighed heavily.
Although they hadn't officially proposed marriage, Li Yuan already regarded her as his daughter-in-law.
So, how could he allow Lin Changye to hold him hostage?
If he delayed any longer, something else might really happen.
"Immediately send over a hundred men of sacrifice to Pingyuan County after disguising themselves. If they can capture Lin Changye alive, or even kill him directly, it would be better.”
"If it doesn't work, just bring Wugou back.”
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said.
"Thank you, Father, for your help."
Li Shi Min was overjoyed. After cupping his fists, he hurriedly went to find the Li family's men of sacrifice.
These men of sacrifice could be considered elites, and their assassination abilities could be said to be superb. They were carefully nurtured by the Li family.
The success rate of carrying out missions had always been very high. This time, with more than a hundred people dispatched, Li Shimin felt that it would be easy to get back his beloved Wugou.
As for whether or not they could kill Lin Changye, neither father nor son had any confidence.
"Don't worry, Wugou. It won't be long before we reunite!”
Looking in the direction of Pingyuan County in Jizhou, Li Shimin's hope was rekindled. The fear of something happening between his sweetheart and Lin Changye had been greatly reduced.
