Gao Yanei immediately fell to the ground, clutching his shoulder and rolling around, howling like a pig being slaughtered.
Li Huan, blinded by rage, continued to swing his knife at Gao Yanei.
"Sir, stop!"
Li Shishi hurriedly shouted to stop Li Huan.
In an instant, Li Huan abruptly sheathed his sword, turned his head and asked, "What is it?"
Li Shishi said urgently, "If you kill Gao Yanei, how will you escape the capital? You must spare his life to blackmail Grand Commandant Gao!"
Li Huan suddenly realized that he should take Gao Yanei hostage.
At this moment, three or four soldiers rushed in and surrounded Li Huan.
Gao Yanei endured the pain and got up, his face contorted, and roared at Li Huan!
"Kill him! Kill him! Tear him to pieces! Tear him to pieces..."
Then, Gao Yanei bent down, reached out, grabbed a steel knife, and walked towards Li Shishi.
"You little slut! You actually gave him ideas to try and capture me alive!"
Upon witnessing the ferocious-looking Gao Yanei, Li Shishi trembled with fear, huddled with Meixiang, and instinctively cried for help.
Gao Yanei grinned maliciously, raised his knife, and pressed it against Li Shishi's chest.
Unable to raise his left hand due to a left shoulder injury, Gao Yanei sternly ordered, "Take off your veil! Take off your clothes! Let me see you clearly!"
The bird-man is extremely evil and attempts to publicly humiliate Li Shishi.
Li Shishi was shocked, ashamed, and angry, and tears welled up in her eyes.
At this moment, Wu Song was focused on dealing with a dozen soldiers and had no time to come and rescue Li Shishi.
Li Huan swung his knife with all his might, forcing back the soldiers, and then turned and lunged at Gao Yanei.
Click!
He severed Gao Yanei's right hand with a single stroke, and blood gushed out.
"Ah!" Li Shishi and Meixiang screamed, their eyes agape in fright.
While Gao Yanei was crying and wailing, Li Huan held a steel knife to his neck and ordered the soldiers to put down their weapons.
Seeing that Gao Yanei was seriously injured and captured, the officers and soldiers became wary and threw away their weapons, leaving the pavilion.
Wu Song laughed loudly, picked up the beer bottle, gulped it down, and then threw the bottle out the door, hitting a soldier on the head!
Gao Yanei howled a few more times, his two turtle-like eyes rolled upwards, and he fainted.
Li Huan hurriedly grabbed Gao Yanei's robe, quickly cut strips of cloth with a knife, and tightly wrapped them around the severed wrist to stop the bleeding.
This bastard's life still has some value; let's keep him from meeting the King of Hell for now.
Li Shishi regained her senses, raised her hand to remove her veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, as if carved from jade and ice.
Instantly, the entire hall seemed to brighten up a bit.
Meixiang, the maid standing beside her, also paled in comparison.
Li Shishi's beauty was not only breathtaking, but her temperament was also extraordinary, giving people a sense of tranquility and serenity.
Li Huan believes that it is a complete waste of talent for Li Shishi to work in the entertainment industry in a brothel.
Her beauty can soothe a lonely heart and ignite a cold soul.
No wonder Zhou Bangyan was so obsessed with Li Shishi that he wrote all sorts of lyrics and music for her, and no wonder Emperor Huizong of Song was so obsessed with Li Shishi that he dug out secret passages for their trysts.
Wu Song stood there, gazing at Li Shishi, captivated by her stunning beauty.
Li Shishi quickly bowed to Li Huan and gave him a deep bow.
"Thank you for saving me, sir. If it weren't for your timely intervention, I would have been defiled by Gao Yanei."
Defilement?
Judging from Li Shishi's words, she is still a pure and innocent person.
Li Huan laughed and said, "Don't just thank me, you should also thank Wu Song, the tiger-slaying hero!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shishi quickly bowed to Wu Song.
"Sir, your martial arts are so formidable! You must be the tiger-slaying hero of Yanggu County!"
Clearly, news of Wu Song's heroic deeds had reached the capital.
Li Shishi warned, "Gao Yanei is the adopted son of Grand Commandant Gao. He is seriously injured and captured. Grand Commandant Gao will definitely send troops to arrest you two. The situation is critical. You two should not stay any longer and leave quickly."
Li Huan thought to himself that using Gao Yanei as a hostage could intimidate Gao Qiu's troops.
Once the system task is completed, Laozi's combat power will be greatly enhanced.
We can then inflict a heavy blow on the enemy and use the "fast passage" to leave the capital. Why worry about safety?
After a moment's thought, Li Huan deliberately said, "If Wu Dutou and I leave, it might implicate my wife and lead to Gao Qiu's retaliation."
Li Shishi said, "My lord, there is no need to worry. I have connections with high-ranking officials in the court, so I will have their protection."
Li Huan asked, "Since you have high-ranking officials protecting you, why didn't you say it earlier and threaten Gao Yanei instead?"
Li Shishi said, "That high-ranking official always disguises himself and avoids being seen whenever he meets me, so I cannot tell Gao Yanei..."
Li Huan hurriedly said, "He is Zhou Bangyan, a favorite of the Emperor and a great scholar."
Li Shishi shook her head.
Li Huan was stunned. "Damn it, I guessed wrong."
Li Shishi said, "To be honest, he is Tong Guan, the Privy Councilor of the Eastern Hall!"
Li Huan was instantly shocked.
Holy crap! It's Tong Guan, one of the three great villains in Water Margin!
This guy, a eunuch, actually had a penchant for visiting brothels!
No wonder they were disguised, afraid of being recognized.
Li Huan suddenly realized that Tong Guan had long lost his basic masculine abilities, so Li Shishi was still virgin.
Wu Song blinked, puzzled.
"Tong Guan is a eunuch, what does he want with you, Madam? And how could he possibly be with you..."
Li Huan chuckled to himself, thinking that Wu Song was indeed a curious and naive boy.
Li Shishi blushed slightly: "Although Tong Guan is unable to engage in sexual relations, he is fond of music and has asked me to play instruments and sing for him..."
Wu Song nodded, understanding.
Taking advantage of the situation, Li Huan said, "Since you have Tong Guan as your backer, I have nothing to worry about. There's no need to rush to leave. Please enjoy the boxed lunch first!"
