Chapter 493: Alternation and Entrustment, Xiao Qingfang's Death
The three people below were not afraid of death, nor did they look forward to the scene of the Snake Spirit members standing in the sun in the future.
The three of them sat down in the most leisurely and comfortable posture, leaning sideways and chatting.
Like old friends who haven't seen each other for years, they talk about all kinds of things. Sometimes the next thing they say has nothing to do with the previous one, but they still chat happily without any sense of incongruity.
They just kept saying whatever they wanted to say without stopping.
They know that if they don't say something now, they may never have the time to say it in this lifetime.
However, when the moon was at its zenith, no life-threatening sounds were heard outside the house.
The three people who were spouting all kinds of trash talk finally stopped.
Xiao Qingfang closed her eyes, folded her hands together, and pressed them on the hilt of a sword.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, the bright moon was gradually covered by dark clouds. The sky, where stars could be seen before, was now covered by a large cloud.
Outside the vermilion lacquered gate of the house, the life-threatening sound came late but finally a clear male voice was heard.
"Come out, those inside. You have no way out."
The three people on the ground have already climbed up. They each picked up their own sword and decided to die in front of Xiao Qingfang, which could be regarded as being loyal to Xiao Qingfang.
Xiao Qingfang stood up, holding the hilt of the sword in her left hand, sheathed the sword, and slowly walked forward and stood in the middle of the courtyard.
"Open the door." She said lightly.
The three Snake Spirit members stepped forward, moved the crossbeam away, and then boldly opened the vermilion lacquered door.
There were only a few people outside the door, and they did not launch an attack immediately. Li Cunxi, who was standing at the front, smiled calmly.
"It seems we are not in the wrong place, General Xiao."
He looked at the charming Xiao Qingfang with a burning gaze and addressed her seldom.
Xiao Qingfang, wearing silver armor and holding her head high, smiled calmly, but the next second she became a little dazed.
Among the crowd outside, Xiao Qingfang did not see the new chief of the Inner Guard Bureau, Huang Shengyan.
The only ones standing behind Li Cunxi were Wu Yanhao and Lu Dayou. Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui were guarding on both sides of the three of them, always on guard against sneak attacks.
The demon spirit and shadow walking behind were also looking back from time to time. Su Xianer, who was sent to Li Cunxi by Xiao Qingfang, was protected by Ma Rong.
However, from another perspective, Ma Rong's protection may also be a form of surveillance.
"These people are your own people now, right?"
Xiao Qingfang saw everyone's expressions and positions clearly and couldn't help but ask.
With her intelligence, how could she not see that the demon spirit and the shadow were sentinels to prevent anyone from following them secretly and discovering any clues?
Hu Jinghui was protecting Li Cunxi's left side and did not let his guard down at all.
Su Xian'er's eyes only showed worry for her at this moment, but that worry was mixed with some other meanings...
It is obvious that the four Snake Spirit members who followed Li Cunxi have become Li Cunxi's loyal subordinates.
"Yes, I think you should have noticed it." Li Cunxi said lightly.
Xiao Qingfang nodded. Since Li Cunxi was so capable, she was not worried that after his death, the Snake Spirit would perish under the leadership of Yuan Tiangang.
"I can't escape death today." Xiao Qingfang said, "But these three still have some abilities, you can accept them."
"Okay." Li Cunxi did not refuse. "I sent Huang Shengyan away just to save your dignity and give your people a chance."
The three former leaders of the Inner Guard Bureau burst into tears.
They were touched that Xiao Qingfang still tried to give them a way to survive before her death, and they were also grateful for Li Cunxi's magnanimity.
Li Cunxi's expression was as warm as the spring breeze, and he didn't seem to be telling lies.
Those who were regarded as thorns in the emperor's side now had a way to survive.
"They wanted to die before me before, but as the eldest sister, how could I agree to that?"
“Cunxi, I originally wanted to make you my successor after everything was done, but I didn’t expect that I would end up making things worse and be destined to die here.”
"But it's good. Before I died, I also saw your strength. Mulan died because of you, Jinghui can still be used by you, Molin, Yin Zi and Xian'er are all my confidants. You can win them over, which shows your outstanding ability."
"With their help, it will be much easier for you to go to Dayang Mountain in Liuzhou to seize control of the Snake Spirit and become the leader of the Snake Spirit."
Xiao Qingfang calmly drew out the sword and placed it against his neck.
Li Cunxi said, "Wait, I can't let you die like this."
Xiao Qingfang was stunned for a moment and asked, "You kid, do you still want to torture me to death?"
"Of course not." Li Cunxi smiled and took two steps forward. "I want to tell you that I will bring the snake spirit into the light."
"Thank you."
"Then, my eldest brother and sister Xiaomei have been my people since the Youzhou case. Brother Jinghui is also my person, and my cousin Li Qingxia is still alive. Huan Bin and Su Honghui are both my people. When the Chongzhou case just started, the Snake Spirit was captured by my people, and I am the third owner of the Snake Spirit."
Li Cunxi finished what he wanted to say in one breath, and then waved his hand.
"Get rid of those internal guards who followed us. Be quick and don't let anyone find you."
The demon spirit and the shadow immediately took action, holding the Night Walker Knife and disappearing into the darkness.
Soon, the two men came back with the smell of blood and stood outside the door again.
"Also, I also know what Yuan Tiangang's mysterious Luo River is."
Li Cunxi spoke faster.
"After those of us who have left, it won't be long before we stand in the light again."
"Those who survive will rise to the pinnacle of power with me."
Xiao Qingfang was very happy and seemed to have seen the future of the exile.
"Thank you, Cunxi. I am the descendant of Concubine Xiao Shufei. Xiaomei and Xiaofeng are from my clan. Please take care of them in the future."
"Go with peace of mind. Next year, when the mystery of the Luo River is solved, I will ask His Majesty for a marriage contract and take Sister Xiaomei as my principal wife."
"Cunxi, I would like to thank you on behalf of the deceased elders of the Xiao family."
The two spoke quickly and didn't want to waste time.
Xiao Qingfang looked at Mo Ling, Shadow and Su Xianer again, and was completely relieved.
"And follow Hao Cunxi, everyone."
"Cunxi, after I die, you must cut off my head and send it to His Majesty. Otherwise, His Majesty will not let it go if I die alone and my body remains intact."
"There are not many brothers left in the Snake Spirit."
Xiao Qingfang gave the last instruction and without waiting for Li Cunxi to reply, she stabbed him in the throat with a sword, and his body fell to the ground.
There was no time for everyone to feel sad and they all walked down the stairs together.
For the safety of the remaining Snake Spirit members, Hu Jinghui took three or two steps forward and used the sword in Xiao Qingfang's hand to cut off Xiao Qingfang's head along the wound.
Li Cunxi came in front of the three people and said:
"Three of you, there is no time to ask your names. Follow my butler Ma Rong and return to my house immediately."
