The Taoist priest was so frightened that he almost lost his courage. He dropped his things and ran away.
Sure enough, his senior brother was right. Delivering food here could be life-threatening!
Don't listen, don't look, and don't speak, only then can you save your life!
However, his panic and fear had already been seen through by everyone in the courtyard.
The guard Pofeng whispered to the only man in the courtyard, who was dressed in white and whose white clothes were already stained with blood, "Your Highness, do you want to kill this little Taoist priest?"
He saw something he shouldn't have seen, and that was his bad luck today.
The man in white was tall and had long legs, with slightly curly black hair that was all loose like a waterfall. His face was already extremely handsome, and the small red mole between his eyebrows made him look as holy as the gods in the scroll, making people dare not have any evil thoughts.
He should have a compassionate look.
But at this moment, he was holding a long sword with blood dripping on it, and his whole body was stained with the sins of the world.
This person is none other than the fifth son of the current Emperor of Daliang, Prince Su, Duan Rongshi.
Although he was a prince, he also held the position of Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.
He was known for his vicious, extreme and cruel style of doing things, which made everyone in Jinling City terrified and fearful of him.
Most officials in the court also kept their distance from him.
Duan Rongshi took off his loose cloak and wiped the blood off the sword himself.
After throwing the precious cloth on the ground, he said nonchalantly, "Don't make any more trouble. Go and tell Qingyangzi in person that we just handled a case in the courtyard behind Cangsong Mountain tonight."
Pofeng: "Yes."
There was still a person in the yard who was not dead yet, so Duan Rongshi ordered Zhui Yu to go over and cut the tendons of that person's hands and feet.
Then, he hung it under the big pine tree outside the door.
"Don't let him die. If anyone dares to assassinate me, then let their master see what happens to them."
Zhui Yu: “Yes!”
There were screams outside the house. The man inside had already washed his hands, changed into clean clothes, and washed off the blood on his body.
The food had been tested for poison and was placed on the table. Duan Rongshi sat down and picked up his chopsticks, but frowned when he saw a table full of sweet potato dishes.
"Is Qingsong Temple going to close?"
As far as he knew, Mrs. Pei from Cuizhuyuan had been receiving money from Qingsong Temple for thirty years.
In the past thirty years, this Taoist temple has grown from an unknown small temple to the largest one outside Jinling City. Do you dare to say that it can only afford to eat sweet potatoes?
Duan Rongshi didn't want to eat a single bite, but Pofeng suggested, "The sweet potatoes we cooked tonight must be exceptionally delicious, otherwise those Taoists wouldn't dare to treat your dinner like this. Would you like to try a bite?"
Duan Rongshi then reluctantly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks.
After swallowing it, Duan Rongshi rarely smiled.
"Did this Taoist temple get a new amazing cook? Go and find out what's going on."
Pofeng: “Yes!”
Not long after, Pofeng returned and reported, "Your Highness, today's sweet potato dishes were all prepared by the daughter of Li Chaojing, the Second Rank General of the Cavalry."
Duan Rongshi didn't eat much.
But there was movement on almost every plate.
This is also very rare.
Po Feng secretly kept it in mind.
Duan Rongshi was not very interested in the affairs of the Li family.
I just felt that it was extremely noisy down the mountain today, and I heard that it was this woman who caused the trouble.
However, he did not care about it for the sake of Madam Pei.
Li Qingluo waited for another day, but her grandmother still did not respond.
Although she felt a little disappointed, she also knew that things should not be forced.
She has tried her best to impress her grandmother. If she still cannot change her grandmother's mind, she can only respect her wishes.
In that case, she would go back alone and fight them to the death. What would be the harm?
Li Qingluo packed his bag and was about to leave and go down the mountain tomorrow, but suddenly Cui'er came to report that someone from the Li family had come again.
This time, Li Kechuan came in person.
"Miss, you're so kind! The eldest master must have felt that he had wronged you last time, so he personally climbed the mountain to take you home!"
Is he Li Kechuan?
In his previous life, he hated himself because of Li Qingzhu, thinking that he had taken away Li Qingzhu's vitality and the position of Li's daughter.
So, when Li Qingluo accidentally broke a teacup that Li Qingzhu had used, he locked himself in a dilapidated house next to the stable.
As a result, Li Qing was frozen to death on a snowy day.
Li Qingluo didn't think that such a cruel and heartless brother would be so kind as to come and pick her up in person.
Therefore, his arrival will definitely not bring any good things.
As soon as Li Qingluo stepped out of the room, he met Li Kechuan's cold gaze.
He rode a tall white horse, looking down at his biological sister from above.
Seeing Li Qingluo's poor and shabby appearance, dark skin and not-so-pretty appearance, Li Kechuan's eyes were clearly filled with disgust, disdain, and even ridicule.
"Are you Liu Cao'er?"
Li Qingluo had not returned to the Li family yet, so the Li family had not given her a new surname, Li. Now she was still Liu Caoer, who was abducted to the valley.
Li Qingluo didn't say anything, but just stared at Li Kechuan quietly and coldly.
Li Kechuan was very displeased with the way he looked at her.
What qualifications does she have to look at me like that?!
Cui Er excitedly reminded Li Qingluo from behind: "Miss, this is the eldest son, your biological brother."
Of course she knows.
This is her biological brother, who is of the same blood and born to the same mother.
He is also the person she hates to the core.
