Chapter 264 Li Suining's head can be exchanged for 500 gold
"Hahaha..." Wang Yuanshu covered his mouth and chuckled a few times, "Brother Qingyun, you're joking. How could there be a fugitive in such a huge City Lord's Mansion?"
Qingyun said with a cold face, "What do you mean? What do you want to do?"
"Nothing." Wang Yuanshu twitched his lips. "It's just that I feel the salary offered by the Great Jin is too little, so I have no choice but to find a way out on my own and plan to become an official in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom."
Qingyun stepped forward angrily, "Wang Yuanshu, you want to commit treason? You know, this is a capital crime. If you say that, I will kill you today."
Wang Yuanshu sneered, "Treason? Is that what you call treason? But I don't care. It's just that I need to bring a gift to the respected Barbarian King when I go to the kingdom."
"Gift?" Qingyun said coldly, "Why? Do you need us to prepare your gift? Or is it placed in our yard?"
"Brother Qingyun is right. My gift is really in your courtyard." Wang Yuanshu tilted his head and looked at Hai Jiao and Li Suining behind Qingyun. He smiled and said, "Little Suining, your uncle has been very good to you since you came to Dongyi City, right? Are you willing to help your uncle?"
Hai Jiao quickly picked up Li Suining, holding her tightly in her arms, and whispered, "Ignore him."
Little Tuanzi hugged Haijiao's neck with his little arms and obediently did not answer.
"Xiao Suining, you are not being obedient. Didn't your father teach you that you should be grateful and repay kindness!" Wang Yuanshu looked very patient.
He had been waiting for so long. Today, all the soldiers he trusted came, hundreds of them. Li Suining and his men were bound to die, so he had time to say a few more words to them.
"Wang Yuanshu, you're a grown man, and you're asking a child for a gift? Do you think you can do that?" Qingyun said disdainfully, "Why don't you just tell me what you want? Maybe I can be kind and help you."
"Hahaha..." Wang Yuanshu laughed. "Okay, I'll tell you today. From the first day you enter the City Lord's Mansion, what I want... is your heads!"
"What?" Qingyun was obviously shocked. "Wang Yuanshu, are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?"
"What? Wasn't I clear enough?" Wang Yuanshu stood up and said in a louder voice, "I don't mind repeating myself. I said, I want..."
At this moment, he suddenly realized something, "Huh? At such an important time, didn't Second Young Master Bai Yu'an come out?"
Qingyun didn't answer him, but instead warned him coldly, "Wang Yuanshu, think it over carefully. If you really dare to touch Xiao Suining, you should know that even if you flee to the capital of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom or even hide in the palace, General Bai of Baiyun Peak..."
"No!" He quickly shook his head and changed his tone, "Even if it was our Great Jin's Zhenbei Marquis, he would lead the Bai family army to find you. He would not hesitate to let the Northern Barbarians destroy their country. He would definitely kill you to avenge his daughter!"
"Marquis Zhenbei?" Wang Yuanshu's expression clearly showed no fear. Instead, he smiled and praised, "I didn't expect you to get the news so quickly. Indeed, Marquis Zhenbei, the only marquis of a different surname in the Great Jin..."
He chuckled a few times, "That's right, without the existence of Zhenbei Hou, Li Suining and you, who would care about your heads?"
"There's nothing we can do. If you want to blame someone, blame your Zhenbei Marquis. He killed the previous barbarian king of the Northern Barbarians. He himself ran away quickly, so you have to die for him first."
Wang Yuanshu finally confirmed, "Could it be that Second Young Master Bai has already run away? Otherwise, with such a big scene outside, why wouldn't he come out?"
"You're right. The Second Young Master left a long time ago. He saw through your thoughts and returned to Dajin first. Right now, he's leading the Bai Family Army to take your life."
Qingyun knew that this battle was inevitable, but with so many people, could he protect Xiao Suining?
He drew his sword, ready to sacrifice his life to protect the people behind him.
Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to Xiao Wu when he returned.
However, Qingyun's words obviously caused quite a stir in everyone's hearts. Anyone who had served in the army in Dajin knew how powerful the Bai family army was. Everyone looked at each other, afraid that Bai Yu'an would suddenly appear with the Bai family army.
"Everyone, don't listen to his nonsense. The Bai family army is far away in the imperial city right now. It's impossible for Bai Yu'an to go back and come back."
Wang Yuanshu realized everyone's fear of the Bai family army, and felt a little timid in his heart.
But he knew it was impossible, but Bai Yu'an didn't show up at this time, which was indeed wrong.
He looked at one of his trusted confidants not far away, the one who had recently been in charge of monitoring the compound, and asked, "What's going on? Have you seen Bai Yu'an these past few days?"
"It seems... not." The soldier recalled carefully and shook his head.
Wang Yuanshu's eyes widened in anger, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Sir, they basically stayed in the house these days and rarely came out. I really didn't notice that Bai Yu'an was missing." The soldier quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Forget it." Wang Yuanshu waved his hands irritably and looked at the other party again. He had no patience and didn't dare to delay any longer. What if Bai Yu'an really did something and ruined his plans?
He no longer paid attention to Qingyun, but looked at Haijiao behind Qingyun, "If I remember correctly, you are a barbarian, right? Your name is Haijiao?"
Hai Jiao's face was cold, and she asked in a deep voice, "So what?"
"If I kill the child in your arms, I will take you to the palace to collect the reward. How about that?" Wang Yuanshu said temptingly with a smile.
When Qingyun heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at Haijiao anxiously. He shook his head silently, "Miss Haijiao, you...can't be..."
Hai Jiao rolled her eyes at Qing Yun and then looked at Wang Yuanshu. "Master Wang, thank you for your kindness, but I despise your behavior of not even sparing a three or four-year-old child. Therefore, I cannot accept your proposal."
“Haha…” Wang Yuanshu sneered, “It seems that you are also a traitor!”
"You're talking nonsense!" Hai Jiao hated the word. "A real man has his share of achievements and accomplishments. There are things he can and cannot do. Actions like yours will be looked down upon by the entire Northern Barbarians."
Wang Yuanshu didn't say anything else. He raised his hand and prepared to take action.
"Do you really want to kill me?" At this time, the little dumpling suddenly spoke.
"Of course, your father killed someone he shouldn't have killed. Now that he's gone, you, as his daughter, have to pay for his life!"
Wang Yuanshu raised his hand and slammed it down, immediately ordering, "All soldiers, listen to my orders. Now, kill everyone in this yard, including that man and that northern barbarian woman. Of course, most importantly, kill that little girl."
He curled his lips and said, "Their heads, each one can be exchanged for one hundred gold! Li Suining's can be exchanged for five hundred gold!"
