Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

Li Chen didn't care and chuckled: "I'm right in front of you now. You can kill me at any time, but can you do it?"

The young master of the Li family held the bars of the cell tightly with both hands, his expression fierce, and he wished he could kill Li Chen right now.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "I really can't kill you now, but that doesn't mean I can't in the future. A coward like you doesn't deserve to stay in the Li family. You should be killed." Died by a thousand cuts. How could our Li family give birth to a person like you? You are just like your incompetent mother, disgraced and unable to stand on the stage."

Hearing that the young master of the Li family insulted his mother, Li Chen finally couldn't hold back and punched him in the face.

"Li Sheng, let me tell you, the reason why you are so arrogant now is because I take into account that you are my brother and the face of the law." Li Chen then punched him hard.

Two consecutive punches made Li Sheng's face swollen, and a trace of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He gently wiped away the blood with his thumb, and spat out a mouthful of blood foam. He stared at Li Chen fiercely, as if he was about to kill half of Li Chen in the next second.

Li Chen didn't feel any fear. After all, he had been used to seeing Li Sheng staring at him like this since he was a child. Seeing Li Sheng's appearance at this moment, I just felt like laughing.

"After so many years, you still only threaten me in this way. You said you want to kill me, but you haven't found any way or reason for so long. Don't you think it's too ridiculous? , so pitiful that it makes you want to laugh."

Li Sheng stared at Li Chen and stretched out his hand to catch him, but because the cell door trapped him, he really couldn't break out.

"Don't be arrogant for too long. Sooner or later, your military camp will be directly defeated by the Huns. Do you think you can resist the Huns' attack just by relying on your current arrangements that are not on the stage?"

After Li Sheng finished speaking, he turned away, not wanting to continue communicating with Li Chen.

Seeing that the two of them had almost communicated, Yao Shu immediately stepped forward: "Actually, I came here to ask you about the secret guards. I heard that the young master of the Li family has done many things to help the Minister of Rites. Including the assignment and training of secret guards."

"Have you gone crazy, woman? Coming to me to inquire about these things is simply nonsense."

Yao Shu did not feel angry because of his scolding. Instead, she took out a piece of paper from her arms.

What was drawn on this paper was the appearance of the secret guard who protected Yao Shu before. She drew it yesterday based on her own memory.

Since he was rescued, he has never seen this secret guard again. Perhaps he was worried that he would be exposed in the military camp, so he found a place to hide.

But now Yao Shu felt really strange. Although she knew that Li Sheng would not tell her everything easily, she also wanted to provoke Li Sheng to ask for some valuable clues.

Sure enough, when Li Sheng saw the appearance of the man in the portrait, he was obviously stunned.

He looked at Yao Shu in disbelief and was about to ask, but he immediately held back.

He knew that no matter what he said at this time, he could reveal relevant information to Yao Shu, so he kept silent and slowly closed his eyes.

"I know you know this person. If you guessed correctly, he should be the secret guard of the Minister of Rites. Maybe he has been following me these days, always paying attention to our movements. Am I right?" Yao Shu stared at Li Sheng in front of her and said doubtfully.

Li Sheng snorted coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know anything about the things you are talking about. Don't just find someone to settle on me. There are so many people in the world, don't I think that every one of them Do you want to get to know each other?"

"What you said makes sense. Since you don't know this person, the next thing will be easier to handle." Yao Shu deliberately pretended to be thoughtful, waved her hands gently, turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing her leaving so decisively, Li Chen was a little confused.

When she was about to reach the door, Yao Shu suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "By the way, if he is not from your Li family, then I will feel free to use him. He is indeed a talent, so he can join him directly." I was a little wary of coming to our place, but now that you say you don't know him, I feel relieved to use him."

Li Sheng immediately denied it: "This is impossible. I don't believe he would defect to you."

At this time, Yao Shu, who had her back to Li Sheng, slightly raised her lips after hearing this.

She finally got the answer she wanted to know from Li Sheng. Now it was confirmed that the secret guard beside her was from the Minister of Rites, which meant that Prince Jing was not just focused on them.

Prince Jing is very likely to be of the same group as the Minister of Rites.

If it was as he suspected, Prince Jing might have deliberately approached the Shen family just to get Yao Shu to help open up the Silk Road business route.

No matter what, I can't be fooled by him.

There are still many suspicious aspects in this matter. After handling this matter, we must return to the capital immediately.

Although this business route can indeed earn you a lot of money after opening up, you must keep the overall situation in mind when thinking about it.

I haven't been in the capital for such a long time, and I don't know what the situation is like in Shenhe.

If Prince Jing takes this opportunity to put pressure on the Shen family, Shen He may not be able to handle it alone.

After Yao Shu buried her guess in her heart, she began to discuss with the princess when to return to the capital.

That night, the Huns suddenly launched a massive attack.

Fortunately, after what happened before, the general was already prepared.

This time, instead of succeeding in the sneak attack, the Xiongnu were captured by the soldiers of the Central Plains.

Unfortunately, most of the prisoners were from the Central Plains, and they were shot to death by flying arrows before they could even ask why.

The general was furious and began to investigate thoroughly what happened.

Although Yao Shu knew that it was probably the secret guard who did it, she didn't know where to start, so she simply buried the matter in her heart.

After all, this matter was just my own speculation from beginning to end, without any substantive evidence. If I say it rashly, it may lead to everyone's misjudgment.

Yao Shu thought about it and decided to find the young master of the Li family again to ask about this matter.

The young master of the Li family was playing with his hair boredly. When he saw Yao Shu appearing, he smiled proudly and stood up immediately.
