Chapter 76 Jia's Clan

  Is this the Scorpion's Reverse Climb City? I didn't expect that the Scorpion's Reverse Climb City depicted in later generations would be its original appearance.

  Ximen Qing watched as the flea on the drum made strange movements, seemingly thinking it was a large scorpion, crawling upside down, but in just a few breaths, it had already climbed up quite a distance.

  It turns out that this move is the most suitable for climbing walls and stealing camps. Ximen Qing only knew that Shi Qian was a top-notch talent in this aspect, but he didn't expect Shi Qian to use the scorpion inverted wall-climbing technique.

  "Shi Qian's move is high!" Langzi Yanqing also couldn't help but give a thumbs up in praise.

  What's even more surprising is yet to come, in just a moment, Shi Qian has already climbed up the city wall and somehow pulled out a black thing from somewhere and threw it down.

  Without saying a word, Shi Qian simply waved his hand, indicating that they could climb up now.

  Ximen Qing felt around on the city wall and soon found a rope as thick as a small finger. He grabbed it with both hands, pulled slightly, and felt that it was like a cowhide strap, inside which were twisted some hemp or horsehair, although thin, but actually very strong.

  Ximen Qing had also climbed rocks before crossing over and had some experience. With a burst of strength from his arms, both feet were already on top of the city wall.

  Next is to climb up step by step steadily.

  Luckily it was evening, and the darkness made it impossible to see what was around. Ximen Qing crawled for a while, almost reaching the top when suddenly someone stretched out a hand and pulled him up, so he didn't end up making a fool of himself.

  It wasn't until they reached the top that they realized Shi Qian had actually tied the end of the rope to a wooden pillar on the city wall, which was why it was so stable.

  "How's that, brother? Is this rope sturdy enough?" Shi Qian shook the rope, indicating that Wu Song and Yan Qing could climb too. He didn't forget to boast: "Five-strand python tendon, plus human hair braided together, even if all three of you climb at once, it'll be fine."

  "What's with all this hair?" Ximen Qing was startled: "Where did you get so much hair from?"

  "Of course I bought it from someone." Shi Qian burst out laughing: "I couldn't have sneaked into someone's house at night to cut their hair, could I?"

  Ximen Qing was taken aback and couldn't help but laugh, and before he knew it, Wu Song had already climbed up, his speed far surpassing Ximen Qing's. Next, the young rogue Yan Qing grabbed the rope and also climbed up with incredible speed, and in the end, he used his hands to push off the city wall and suddenly sprang up, just like a large bird flying onto the city wall.

  "Xiao Yige is quite skilled!" Shi Qian praised, then started to put away the rope. Since there were stairs on this side of the city wall that they could use to climb down, they no longer needed the rope.

  Time Qian's hands and feet moved quickly, and in a short while the over ten-meter-long rope disappeared, no one knew where Time Qian had put it, Ximen Qing saw that his waist was bulging, probably tied around his waist.

  "We now have four people, why not divide into two groups." The four of them crouched in the darkness, Ximen Qing said in a low voice: "My intention is that I and Xiao Yige go to Lu's house, Second Brother and Third Brother go to find that Cai Fu Cai Qing's evil spirit, what do you think?"

  "Just do what Brother said." Wu Song and Shi Qian had nothing to say: "Go to the prison and catch a small prison head to ask, then you'll know where those two birds are."

  "The patrol teams of the Grand Marshal's mansion are not few, you two brothers be careful." Ruanzi Yanqing told Wu Song and Shi Xian about the layout of the prison, reminding them: "Divide into two teams, with a small target, it's better to act separately."

  Shi Qian made a reassuring gesture, and four black shadows descended from the city wall along the ladder, moving stealthily in two directions.

  "Beautiful lady, at this point, what else can you worry about?" Li Guo, who was drinking wine, was around thirty years old and had a clever appearance: "Following me is much better than following Lu Junyi, isn't it?"

  "Li Gu! Don't be dizzy!" Under the lamp light, Jia's face was as cold as frost: "Do you think you can take charge in this family? Don't forget who slowly promoted you from a house servant to where you are now!"

  "Of course, I won't forget." Li Gudang poured himself another cup of wine and smiled with satisfaction: "That afternoon was the most wonderful day in my life. Who would have thought that a small house servant like me could have the chance to sleep with his beautiful mistress, and what's more, it was she who took the initiative?"

  "My little darling, you were shouting very loudly that afternoon, weren't you? My kung fu is much stronger than that of Lu Junyi, isn't it?"

  Jia's hand clenched the hem of her clothes, enduring the anger in her heart. Since marrying into the Lu family, Lu Junyi was always either practicing martial arts or training his strength, and when it came to women, he had never shown any interest.

  Jia's momentary lapse, coupled with a stroke of luck, led to an encounter with Li Gu, which unexpectedly turned into a threat against himself. With Jia's help, Li Gu became the manager within two years.

  Looking at Jia's pretended calm demeanor, Li Gu smiled and continued: "Originally thought that being a housekeeper would be easy, making some small money, and when feeling good, sleeping with the mistress, life wouldn't be bad."

  "Unexpectedly, those bandits from Liangshan Po took a liking to Lu Junyi. I didn't know what was going on." Li Gu chuckled and took a big bite of his food: "You think I, Li Gu, couldn't see that the poem was an acrostic? Lu Junyi is against... haha."

  "Who would have thought that Lu Junyi, that fool, is actually going to Liangshan to capture the bandits! Without needing that surnamed Wu military advisor to point it out to me, I, Li Kui, also know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

  "I, Li Gu, have now turned over and become a staff member." Li Gu leaned in to touch Jia's cheek: "This Lu Mansion has already changed into the Li Mansion. Do you think I'm still that house servant? Can't I be in charge?"

  "Now, this mansion, including you, beautiful lady, all belong to me, Li Gu!"

  With a triumphant smile, Li greedily gazed at Jia's snow-white neck, his hands probing downward from the collar and suddenly invading Jia's upper garment, fondling the plump twin mounds.

  "Don't look at me now, I'm still interested in you. Wait a few more days and I'll marry another girl from a good family. By then, even if you strip naked and beg me, I won't touch you!"

  Jia's head was tilted back, numbly letting Li Guo do as he pleased, coldly staring at the ceiling. The outcome before her eyes was something she had never thought of from the start, and although Li Guo had filled his own emptiness, Jia had never thought of harming Lu Junyi so deeply that he would end up in a big prison, this family was already fragmented.

  "Hurry up! Call me Old Master!" Li Gu slapped Jia's face wildly, pinching and kneading it into countless shapes: "You rascal, you still haven't called me Old Master until now!"

  Two lines of tears fell from Jia's eyes. This made Li Gu's heart feel anxious and irritable, he suddenly stopped his actions and said coldly: "You may not know that Lu Junyi might have been buried in the chaotic burial ground by now, waiting for wild dogs to eat him."

  "What!" Jia's pupils suddenly contracted, and she pushed Li Guo away: "You dog slave! What have you done?!"

  "Dog slave?" Li Gu's face twisted slightly, but his voice remained very calm, seemingly unprovoked by Jia Shi: "This title of 'dog slave', I, Li Gu, really do love to hear it."

  With a loud "slap", Li Guo raised his hand and gave Jia Shi a resounding slap, knocking her off her seat: "You must not forget, it's me this dog slave who made your days so enjoyable!"

  "I didn't think you still hadn't forgotten about Lu Junyi. Are you still hoping that he can come back from Shaamen Island?" Li Gu looked at Jia Shi, who had fallen to the ground, and coldly laughed: "I have already bribed the executioner, Lu Junyi will definitely not see tomorrow's sun!"

  Jia's whole body shook, and he didn't dare believe his ears.

  Li Gu took a step forward, squatted down and roughly grabbed Jia's hair, pulling her up: "You'd better think clearly, in this world only I am the best for you. Even if Lu Junyi could come back to life, the first person he would want to kill is probably you, not me Li Gu. Do you understand?"

  Jia choked with sobs, neither shaking nor nodding her head, but feeling that she had done wrong all her life, from the very beginning. If she hadn't married into the Lu family, none of these things would have happened.

  What she didn't expect was that a more tragic life was about to begin.

  Li Gu's face twisted in the lamplight, grasping Jia Shi's hair and refusing to let go. With one hand, he pulled down his pants, revealing himself: "You can call me 'old master', but this old master is someone you've liked before. If you make it happy, I'll be happy too."

  Jia let out a cry of surprise and was about to turn her face away, but Li Gu's hand tightened, pulling Jia's powdered face towards his lower body: "You bastard! Lick me!"

  "Is this the Lu Mansion?" After much difficulty, Ximen Qing and Yan Qing managed to evade several night patrol teams and arrived at the location, only to be shocked to discover that it had changed hands.

  Looking at the lantern under his own gate, the bright "Li Fu" two big words made Yan Qing's eyes feel a bit sore, his hands clenched tightly, that kind of fingernails almost scratching open the skin pain, only made Yan Qing slightly sober.

  Yan Qing's performance has already answered this question. Yes, this is the former Lu Mansion and now Li Mansion. After Lu Junyi was thrown into prison, Li Gu immediately occupied the nest of the magpie and took over, shamelessly changing the signboard to Li Mansion!

  "Brother, let's go this way." Yan Qing pointed to the alley on the west side of the house and started walking: "There is a small door there. When I come back late, I usually enter from there."

  "Wait a minute." Ximen Qing suddenly grabbed Yan Qing: "Xiao Yige, can you tolerate this kind of thing?"

  "Impossible!" Yan Qing's eyes blazed with fury as he spun around, his eyes almost spitting fire.

  "Since we can't..." Ximen Qing smiled: "Why don't we just smash it?"

  "Good!" Yan Qing strode to the entrance, his body sprang up, and with a light stretch of his arm, he had already taken down that signboard.

  With a crisp "crack", the wooden signboard had already been kicked into pieces by Yan Qing!

  "Good!" Ximen Qing clapped his hands lightly: "Now, let's go in and kill! Avenge Lu Yuanwai!"
