The East Gaze Tower was not a place that ordinary people could come to.
Those who were eating here were either rich or noble. Li Yifei was a direct descendant of the Zhao County's Li family and was also one of the top hedonistic sons in the county city.
Naturally, everyone knew him.
Li Yifei should have come out long ago, but his father, Li Gongxu, had placed him in confinement because of the ancestral shrine, but he did not tell him the exact reason.
Li Yifei himself was qualified to understand these things.
However, no one knew his son better than his father. Li Gongxu knew what kind of person Li Yifei was, but he kept it a secret from him. Then, he went to carry out Li Zhongyan's orders.
Therefore, Li Yifei was locked up at home for half a day for no reason. He couldn't stand the loneliness and didn't care about the consequences at all. He went straight to East Gaze Tower and ordered the Medicinal Boar Banquet, only to find that the last portion was actually served to Li Yuan's room.
The scene just now appeared.
Everyone in the East Gaze Tower was prepared to watch the show. How could an outsider compete with Li Yifei? In the end, they could only come out in a daze.
They felt that this was how it was when they were in a different place.
However, this did not stop them from gloating.
It was a pity that all they could see was the half-dead Li Yifei and the blood that he spat out all over the ground. For a moment, no one spoke.
In the end, the shopkeeper said,""What are you waiting for? Hurry up and send Li Langjun to the doctor.”
"His chest is still moving. He's not dead?"
"What are you waiting for? If Mr. Li dies in our shop, none of you will be able to escape, let alone me.”
The shopkeeper's face was filled with anger as he roared angrily. The workers in the East Gaze Tower could not care less and hurriedly carried Li Yifei away.
The servant who had just come out of Li Yuan's room witnessed everything with his own eyes. His face was pale as he said,"Shopkeeper, that…that person is still eating inside.”
"W-what should we do?”
The shopkeeper's expression was gloomy. He didn't expect that there would be someone in Zhao County who dared to offend the Li family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that the dishes had just been served and that Li Yuan probably hadn't eaten yet. After all, in his opinion, Li Yifei was a regular.
Li Yuan was an outsider merchant. In this day and age, merchants had little status other than some money. No one knew when they would die on the road.
However, something like this had happened. The Li family was also involved in the East Gaze Tower. He knew better than anyone that Li Yifei's father, Li Gongxu, was the most powerful person under the family head.
Of course, the shopkeeper of the East Moon Tower didn't know that the head of the Zhao County's Li family, Li Xunfeng, was already dead.
In this era, the information lag of ordinary people was still too serious.
The shopkeeper looked upstairs and saw the two Yan Cloud Cavalry standing guard at the door. There was no fear on their faces, as if it was a great sin to disturb the people in the room.
The shopkeeper took a deep breath and said," When the King of Hell fights, the imps will suffer. You two, one of you will report to the officials, and the other will report to the Li Mansion."”
"We can't close it. Oh right, send up two bottles of good wine and keep them here.”
"When the time comes, it won't be our fault if we can catch the murderer.”
The shopkeeper finished his instructions.
He also quietly walked back, not daring to participate in this matter.
More than half of the customers in Dongfang Restaurant had left. The rest were just here to watch the show. Of course, they thought that they had some strength and wouldn't be implicated.
Li Yuan sat in the room and slowly tasted the delicious food.
He was naturally aware of what was happening outside. However, this Medicinal Boar Banquet was indeed not bad. The chefs of the East Moon Restaurant were comparable to the imperial chefs.
As for the Li family's revenge?
He really didn't care. He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork rib, and placed it in his bowl. His eyes were looking outside. A head appeared at the window with a knife in its mouth.
The arrows of the Eighteen Cavalry of Yan Yun were already loaded, and they could kill the young assassin with one arrow. However, he saw Li Yuan shake his head slightly and take out the arrow.
They also knew Li Yuan's strength. This little thief could not hurt Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's eyes flashed with curiosity.
This was the third floor, and there were pedestrians outside the window. Was this an assassination?
That would be too clumsy.
Bang!
She stretched out her hand and climbed in from outside. She sat there casually and looked at the dishes on the table. She took a pork trotter without hesitation and said,"Hurry up and leave."
"If you don't leave now, it'll be too late. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The person your subordinate injured just now wasn't an ordinary person.”
The female assassin spoke as she fiercely gnawed on the pig trotter, as if this was her enemy.
Li Yuan looked at her up and down with a trace of curiosity in his eyes. He said,"You're not a Tang, are you? You look like you have Persian blood.”
Li Yuan had just finished speaking.
He could see the strong sense of shame on the face of the person opposite him, as if Li Yuan's words were an insult to her. She said crisply,"I am not a servant."
"It's all because of Li Yifei who stole our things. My aunt and the others died in his hands.”
"I'm here for revenge, but you've already made your move, so I wanted to remind you to leave quickly. Otherwise, no one can save you.”
Li Yuan smiled and put down his chopsticks.""What's your name? You speak the Tang language quite well, almost without an accent.”
Yueli seemed to have been starved for a few meals, and it was more like after taking revenge, she put her life and death aside and said," I'm called Yueli. What about you?"
Li Yuan frowned slightly and did not reply.
The Persian royal family was a branch of the Great Yue Clan. They had Persian blood and were called Yueli. This woman's identity was probably not that simple. It was unknown why she ended up here.
Li Yuan tapped his fingers on the table and said,""If I leave, what will happen to you?”
"Wait for them to come and seek revenge for me?”
Yue Li's eyes were somewhat dejected, and she put down the pig trotter in her hand. She sighed and said,""The entire county capital is their spy.”
"I can't escape at all."
"Since you have avenged me, you are my benefactor. If you leave, I will stay and repay you.”
Li Yuan coughed lightly and said to the outside,""Prepare the horses."
The Yan Cloud Cavalry said respectfully from outside the door,""Yes, sir."
Yueli sat there and did not care so much, as if what was before her eyes was her last meal.
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Li Yuan asked.”
Yue Li raised her eyes that were like glass and looked at her as she said,""Yes."
Li Yuan smiled and stood up. He washed his hands and said,""Since you know, wash your hands and come with me.”
"They won't be able to catch up."
Yue Li looked at Li Yuan in surprise. She was slightly moved.
However, he still shook his head and said," You don't know how powerful they are. You can't escape at all. It's better for you to leave. I'll stay here and let you go further."”
Li Yuan didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on her.
Yueli pursed her lips and stood up as well. Looking at Li Yuan, she had already mentally prepared herself. If the enemy were to catch up, she would be responsible for covering the rear.
She also washed off the grease on her hands and washed her face. The dirty dust on her face was washed off, and a delicate face appeared in front of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan was also slightly stunned and sighed in his heart.
Persia was rich in beautiful women. It was indeed not bad. However, it was only in this instant that he had seen so many beauties.
Yueli's face was slightly red. She had seen too many gazes like this, so she always wore a veil when she went out in the past. But after the great change, she could only make her face dirty and hide it a little.
He didn't think that he could leave alive at all. He might as well die in a good way.
Li Yuan brought Yueli down the East Gaze Tower step by step.
Seeing that Li Yuan was about to leave, the shopkeeper wanted to go up and stop him, but his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground and he couldn't move.
Until Li Yuan walked out of the restaurant.
Yan Yunqi led two horses forward, and Li Yuan reached out to help Yueli onto the horse. Then, Lu who was riding on the horse said,""Follow me, don't fall behind."
Yue Li nodded her head seriously.
"Gah-"
Li Yuan clamped his legs together, and his horse instantly sped up. This was how famous horses were. They understood human nature and did not need a whip to drive them.
Yue Li followed closely behind.
Her body moved up and down along with the jolting of the warhorse, as if she was dancing lightly. Her black hair fluttered in the wind, and her strange eyes carried a hint of charm, making her seem extremely seductive.
Of course, she did not do it on purpose. It was just that her loose clothes were blown by the wind, and some things could no longer be hidden.
Fifteen minutes after Li Yuan and Yueli left.
Li Gongxu and the officials from the yamen rushed over. The owner of the East Gaze Tower was arrested on the spot. He pointed in the direction Li Yuan had left while trembling.
Unfortunately, both parties were chasing after him.
However, he discovered that Li Yuan and Yueli were like true dragons entering the sea, hiding silently.
Lu Ma and Yueli's horses had already been ridden away by the Yan Cloud Cavalry, luring away the pursuers.
Li Yuan and Yueli sat in the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'carriage, rushing towards their temporary residence. This was Li Yuan's order to use silver to buy the residence belonging to the Zhao County's Li Family.
After all, he would have to take it back after the war.
Because the manor wanted to be sold at a high price, it was cleaned up cleanly. No servants were recruited. The Brocade Guards each took their own positions and there was no mistake.
Li Yuan brought Yueli down from the carriage.
Yue Li looked at the word 'Li' on the courtyard house, and her eyes immediately revealed a look of horror. She looked at Li Yuan and said,""Are you also from the Li family of Zhao County?"
"What exactly do you want? Who exactly are you?”
Li Yuan looked at her frightened eyes and smiled. He said indifferently,"My surname is also Li, but my Li is Li as in Li Tang!”
