33: Chapter 33 Li Feipeng: My entire Li clan is literate!

The people of the Li Clan weren't dead at all.

The experience on Taiwan Novel Network is great, twkan.com is awesome.

So, naturally, it was impossible for them to be resurrected.

But in the eyes of the Common People of Xinan County, they were dead.

Therefore, the resurrection Feng Yifan spoke of was actually just letting the Common People of Xinan County know that they weren't dead.

This matter was not difficult to handle.

Li Feipeng took Li Fusun and the others, along with over a dozen clansmen, for another trip, and they would be able to handle it properly.

This time, besides having many people, the group was also escorting a small child.

Everyone took advantage of the early hour and set off quickly.

By noon, they arrived outside the county town.

The soldiers guarding the city gate were immediately alarmed when they saw so many people.

They came out one after another carrying sabers and spears, on high alert, ready to pull the cheval de frise at any moment.

Seeing that they weren't carrying weapons and that there was a child in the group, they relaxed a bit.

Seeing that Li Feipeng was leading them, the head soldier shouted, asking why they were bringing so many people into the city.

"Officer, we are escorting the Li Residence's Young Master Grandson home!"

Li Feipeng cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Entrusted by others, loyal to their affairs. This is a letter from Old Master Li. This Young Master Zhang, Zhang Qianlü, can testify."

As he spoke, he pulled a letter from his robe and handed it over.

"What Li Residence Young Master Grandson?" The city guards looked at each other.

They were illiterate!

Not just them, even their leader was illiterate.

However, the leader clearly had more presence than them; he actually reached out to take it and looked at it.

He didn't open it.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't know where to start opening it.

He looked at Zhang Qianlü again.

He couldn't help but blink. "It really is you, Young Master Zhang!"

Zhang Qianlü was something of a minor celebrity in Xinan County.

This Young Master Zhang was very enthusiastic about the matter of Cultivate and often asked others for information.

Many people knew him.

Privately, everyone called him Young Master Little Lotus.

Everyone knew the reputation of the Li Residence, but he was the only one who didn't believe it.

Living in the Li Residence, he had a very good heart, usually pitying the poor and weak.

Otherwise, no one would have advised him to leave the Li Residence quickly to avoid being harmed.

He was handsome, literate, and had some special skills; he could make a living anywhere.

But this lad was stubborn and insisted on living in the Li Residence.

"You left the city last time and never came back. It's been almost a month; we thought you weren't coming back," the military leader laughed. "Looking at you now, you've had a good time lately; you even seem to have grown taller."

In fact, they all guessed that Zhang Qianlü had been harmed.

Although news from the Li Residence said he had gone to visit relatives.

But not many people believed it.

The military leader looked at Zhang Qianlü, then at Li Feipeng.

He thought back to half a month ago when there was a rumor that this group of people named Li outside the city had been harmed by the Old Master Li of the Li Residence.

This group didn't know, and with only these few clansmen left, they had come to the county town and fallen into the hands of their enemy again.

It was said that Old Master Li was plotting for the treasures they carried.

Could it be that he used this Young Master Zhang to harm them?

And now, Li Feipeng knows the truth and has come back for revenge?

"That's not right either!" the military leader thought to himself, looking behind them. "Where did these people come from?"

He frowned, unable to figure it out, so he simply asked, "Young Master Zhang, tell us, what's going on with these people? If you can't explain it clearly, I can't just let you in."

"Of course, since Head Liu is questioning us, we will naturally tell you everything," Zhang Qianlü thought to himself. He wasn't afraid of being asked, but rather afraid of not being asked.

He then waved and called the young boy down from the carriage, saying, "This is Old Master Li's grandson who was living away from home."

He then gestured for the military leader to look at Li Feipeng and the others. "And these are the clansmen of the Li Clan from outside the city."

"Clansmen of the Li Clan from outside the city?" The military leader's eyelid twitched. "Weren't they all killed in the chaos caused by the Demon Ratss?"

"That was naturally fake. Old Master Li entrusted Brother Li and me to put on this show," Zhang Qianlü said. "This was done to make it easier to bring this Young Master Grandson home."

As he spoke, he gave the military leader a bitter smile. "Head Liu, you also know the Li Residence... Sigh, in short, it's a long story. This child's mother wouldn't allow him to return."

The military leader immediately showed an expression of realization.

A soldier behind him couldn't help but say, "No wonder Old Master Li went crazy a few days ago and sent his sons to prison. It turns out he has an heir now!"

"Aiya, shut up!" the military leader immediately scolded. "Do you even know how to talk, you bastard?"

You kid are cursing like that right in front of people?

Although he wasn't wrong at all, because the leader thought so too.

He had thought of much more than this soldier.

He thought, it seems this Old Master Li somehow had a son living away from home. This son took his wife and child and joined Li Feipeng's clan, who shared the same surname, seeking protection.

Such things were not uncommon.

Later, this clan met with disaster and became refugees, and this Master Li brought them outside the city.

He sent someone to contact his father, likely sending a token of identity and mentioning the grandson.

And what about Old Master Li?

The children in his family were useless and hadn't produced any grandchildren.

So, to carry on the family line and continue the Bloodline, he simply dealt a heavy hand and took care of the original young masters.

When that old man was young, he was kind-faced but cold-hearted; he was capable of such a thing.

Especially if this grandson had extraordinary Aptitude, then there was nothing more to say.

Thinking this, the military leader looked at the child being held by Zhang Qianlü.

Seeing that the child was only seven or eight years old, with clear and spirited eyes and a fierce aura, his heart skipped a beat.

He stepped forward to grab the child's arm.

To his surprise, the child moved his feet and actually dodged!

The military leader paused, raised an eyebrow, and reached out to grab again.

This time, he caught the child's wrist.

After holding it, he immediately felt the difference.

"This child has cultivated the martial path?" The military leader couldn't help but feel disbelief. "How old is he?"

At such a young age, his bones and muscles were sturdy, and his movements were agile; he was a good seed for martial arts.

However, within those Meridians, there was actually a faint, vigorous surge of blood energy, clearly a sign that Qi was about to manifest and pass through the body.

Thinking back to that dodge just now, it had quite some technique. Could he have also practiced Combat Technique?

"To be honest with Head Liu, our clan has some foundation as well," Li Feipeng stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Regardless of age or gender, everyone in the clan is literate and has practiced some martial arts."

"Modest, you're being too modest!" Head Liu looked at them. "If you are literate, what you practice cannot be mere martial arts."

At this moment, someone was heard saying, "The Li family's carriage is here."

...

Xinan County, County Yamen.

"You're saying Li Youfu personally came to pick up his grandson?" The County Magistrate sipped his tea and nodded. "Did you see the person?"

"My subordinate came back and said he saw him. He looked a bit sickly, but it seems there's nothing seriously wrong," Advisor Liu said. "What does the County Magistrate think? This grandson..."

"Regardless of whether this grandson is real or fake," the County Magistrate laughed, "I'm afraid the Li Residence is about to have a Dove occupying the magpie's nest."

Advisor Liu nodded; he had reached the same conclusion. Then he hesitated, seemingly having more to say.

"Is there anything else?" the County Magistrate asked upon seeing this.

"That Li Feipeng said their entire clan is literate."

"Pfft!"
