Chapter 436: The White Crane Forest Bandit Leader

Li Cunxi and Hu Jinghui both looked calm, except Lu Dayou who was greatly surprised.

He stood up hurriedly, ready to run away at any time.

As a veteran who had followed Li Cunxi in the martial arts world for many years, Lu Dayou knew very well who this Central Plains hero wearing a bronze mask was.

In all these years, this outfit has never been imitated by anyone, and no one has ever dared to imitate it.

This was the leader of the 19 thieves in Baihelin in the past, the leader of the major Baihelin case who was known as "Hero".

"Why are you here? Why are you here?"

"Has the White Crane Forest bandit leader also come to the Turks secretly?"

Lu Dayou was extremely vigilant. He went around Li Cunxi and as soon as he found that the person was trying to attack him, he would immediately grab Li Cunxi and run away.

Then let Hu Jinghui deal with the bandit leader of Baihelin.

"What are you panicking about?"

Ma Rongwei, who had deliberately lowered his voice before, took off the bronze mask on his face, revealing a resolute face.

Lu Dayou was even more surprised this time. He quickly trotted over to Ma Rong and looked at him carefully.

"Ma Rong, how dare you pretend to be the leader of the Baihelin bandits?"

"Don't you know that His Majesty has hated the thief Bai Helin Nineteen for a long time?"

"If someone with ill intentions discovers your attire today and reports it to His Majesty, you will be in big trouble!"

"Quick, change your clothes before anyone sees you. Don't wear them again."

Since the Youzhou case, Lu Dayou has spent the longest time with Li Cunxi, Ma Rong and Qiao Tai.

Lu Dayou treated Ma Rong with sincerity and without any falsehood.

Today, when he saw Ma Rong wearing the clothes of the White Crane Forest bandit leader, he suddenly became extremely anxious, fearing that someone with bad intentions would see him and bring disaster to Ma Rong.

Facing the kind-hearted Lu Dayou, Ma Rong laughed:

"Dayou, I'm not pretending to be the leader of the Baihelin thieves."

"I am the leader of the White Crane Forest thieves."

Lu Dayou originally wanted to help Ma Rong take off his clothes, but when he heard Ma Rong's words, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

He looked at Ma Rong with an incredible look and took several steps back.

I couldn't believe that the companion I used to spend every day with turned out to be the bandit leader of Baihelin who had been wanted by the imperial court for several years.

"Cunxi, General Hu, do you two know about this?"

Lu Dayou turned around and asked Li Cunxi and Hu Jinghui for confirmation.

Li Cunxi touched his chin and said with a smile:

"I already knew Ma Rong's identity the day Ma Rong and Qiao Tai came to me. But I don't care about it. As long as they are loyal to me, I am willing to be loyal to them."

Hu Jinghui closed his eyes and opened his mouth.

"During the Youzhou case in the past, the leader of the Baihelin bandits and the Taoist priests of Baihelin killed many snake killers in the underground passage of Yao's shop."

"The night I returned to Youzhou City, I already knew Ma Rong's identity as the leader of the White Crane Forest bandits."

"In the end, I still have to thank Ma Rong. That night, you should have known that Qingxia was not dead, right?"

Ma Rong laughed awkwardly.

How could he know that Li Qingxia was not dead at all.

If Li Cunxi had not later discovered that there was something wrong with the housekeeper in Hu Jinghui's mansion, he would not have returned to Youzhou to dig up the grave of "Princess Yi Yang".

However, several years have passed and there is no need for him to hide it from Hu Jinghui.

"General Hu, I really don't know about this."

"It was just that night at Princess Yiyang's base, the Taoist priest and I were lying on the rooftop when we heard Princess Yiyang say that she wanted to occupy the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, so we had no choice but to kill first and report later."

"I was unaware of the behind-the-scenes arrangements of Princess Yiyang and General Hu that day, so I slaughtered them recklessly. I beg General Hu to forgive me."

"I already know that the master of the family has taken this matter upon his shoulders, so I have never told General Hu about it. I hope General Hu will not blame the master of the family."

Hu Jinghui smiled gently.

"There is no need to complain. A considerable number of those people are here for you to kill. Otherwise, Qingxia will not be able to escape."

"The only pity is Yu Feng. Our plan is to let Yu Feng take them to their deaths, and then Yu Feng escapes alone."

"But these things are in the past, and the dead did not blame you."

Li Cunxi leaned back and thought that there was no way the deceased could blame him.

As long as the living people don't blame them, that's enough.

"You two should sit down." Li Cunxi pointed to the empty chairs. "Just now you said something happened, Ma Rong, what happened?"

Before Ma Rong could even sit down, he said, "Just half an hour ago, Prince Helu of the five warlike noble tribes of the Turks and Prince Mochu, the son of Jili Khan, gathered together at the Sheling stronghold."

"What?" Li Cunxi was surprised. "Is Crown Prince Mochu going to join forces with Crown Prince Helu now?"

"That's roughly what happened. They stayed together for about half an hour before I came back."

"Half an hour? This is not a short time. As long as they are willing, half an hour is enough for them to discuss the overall plan and the details."

Li Cunxi stood up hurriedly, and the previous calmness was gone in his eyes.

During these days, Prince Mochu has been staying in his residence, and Prince Helu has never appeared in the Snake Spirit's stronghold.

Originally, everything was under control, and the two princes could not cause any big trouble.

But now it has turned into this.

There is only one possibility!

In this world today, something major must have happened that could change the fate of many people!

According to the progress of the timeline, there can only be two major events that have developed at present. One is Wang Xiaojie's defeat, and the other is Li Jinzhong's defeat.

"Damn, that happened too fast."

Li Cunxi stood up quickly.

"Ma Rong, change back into your normal clothes and wait for me here."

"Brother Jinghui, Dayou, pack up and come with me to see His Majesty the Khan."

Hu Jinghui and Lu Dayou understood the importance of the matter, and quickly got up, tidied their clothes, and followed Li Cunxi out.

However, in just a quarter of an hour, Li Cunxi and his three companions, led by the guard commander Geno, met Jili Khan.

The innkeeper walked in the courtyard, pacing back and forth within the gauze curtain.

"Your Majesty the Khan, the foreign minister Li Cunxi, Hu Jinghui and Lu Dayou are seeking an audience."

"Please come in quickly."

"Yes."

Geno informed them and brought Li Cunxi and the other two to the court.

Jili Khan came forward cordially and called out, "Mr. Li, General Hu, Brother Khan, why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"

Li Cunxi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I came here because I heard some rumors and came to ask your Majesty something."

"What kind of rumors are these?"

"Today, while I was reading in the courtyard, I heard someone outside saying that the Great Zhou was defeated in the battle with the Turks, and the battle situation has been reported to the Turks. I wonder if it is true or not, Your Majesty?"
