Chapter 205 Qin Qiong Kills Li Mi
"Yes, Uncle Bao, your cousin has now submitted to the Prince of Shuo. Let's not cause any more trouble in Beiping and go against the court."
Luo Cheng's mother was also patiently trying to persuade him from the side.
Ever since she heard the news that Luo Cheng had been detained in Dongdu, she had been unable to sleep at night, her eyes were always red and swollen, and she had lost weight.
Qin Qiong was a stubborn man who originally had an irreconcilable feud with Yang Lin, the Prince of Kao Shan of the Sui Dynasty, for killing his father.
Now that Lü Xiao has joined the fray, the grudge is snowballing, growing bigger and bigger, as if it will never be resolved.
Qin Qiong slowly put down the letter in his hand. The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he changed his mind and simply replied in a deep voice, "I understand..."
He had assumed that Qin Shengzhu, as his aunt, would never forget his father's hatred.
After all, he was her own brother!
But to my utter surprise, even she advised me not to oppose Lü Xiao, or even the imperial court.
Then wouldn't his father's death have been for nothing?
Is the blood stain on Yang Lin's old dog just being brushed aside so easily?
"Madam, I'm afraid Shubao will be unwilling to accept this."
Watching Qin Qiong's silent departure, Luo Yi's brows, which had just relaxed slightly, furrowed tightly again.
"I know."
Qin Shengzhu nodded, her gaze following her nephew's figure, her eyes filled with a complex expression.
It seems she needs to have a serious talk with Qin Qiong's mother.
If all else fails, she can only gently persuade the Qin family mother and son to leave this place of trouble.
It's not that she's heartless or ungrateful.
Rather... the dead are not as important as the living.
Those who are alive must always think of those who are alive.
Qin Qiong returned to the camp, feeling utterly depressed. He sat in his central command tent and drank cup after cup of wine in silence.
As they were drinking, a familiar, irritating sound of footsteps came from outside the tent.
Upon hearing that Qin Qiong had returned to the camp, Li Mi eagerly ran over.
Without announcing his arrival, he strode in, lifted the tent flap, and plopped down opposite Qin Qiong without any ceremony.
"Oh, my benefactor is back? I've missed him terribly these past few days."
"Who allowed you into the main tent without my permission? Get out!"
Qin Qiong slammed the wine cup in his hand onto the table, splashing wine everywhere.
He raised his head, staring fiercely at the scoundrel in front of him.
"Hehe, why are you so angry? Who provoked our Second Brother Qin this time?"
Li Mi chuckled twice, seemingly oblivious to Qin Qiong's angry expression, and picked up the wine jar on the table to refill the empty bowl in front of him.
Since stepping down as the leader of Wagang, he has become completely dependent on Qin Qiong.
They eat Qin Qiong's food, wear Qin Qiong's clothes, and use Qin Qiong's things; they practically treat Qin Qiong as their own bank and granary.
And so, it's that time of year again when they have to ask for money.
"I told you to get out!" Qin Qiong raised his hand, his fingers pointing straight at the entrance of the tent like iron halberds, his voice filled with suppressed anger.
The smile on Li Mi's face gradually faded. He put down his wine bowl, stretched out his hand, and asked in a tone that seemed to take it for granted.
"Give me my share of the money this month, and I'll leave immediately."
"You want money, right?" Qin Qiong suddenly stood up, his steps unsteady as he turned towards his bed.
He fumbled under his pillow and pulled out a heavy money bag, then threw it at Li Mi, yelling, "Here you go! Take it and get out of here!"
"Of course, of course." Li Mi took the money bag, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be quite heavy, enough for him to spend for a while.
Without saying much, he stuffed the money bag into his pocket and walked out.
Watching Li Mi's confident and swaying back, Qin Qiong silently reached for his waist.
Then, his gaze suddenly turned cold, bursting with terrifying killing intent, and he instantly took one of the two bronze maces that made him famous from his waist.
Immediately afterwards, he exerted force from his waist and abdomen, and suddenly threw the bronze mace in his hand!
The next moment, a dazzling golden light tore through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, heading straight for Li Mi's back!
boom!
A dull thud resounded, and Li Mi's entire body was thrown forward as if he had been struck by a galloping horse.
"What happened?"
Hearing the commotion, the patrolling soldiers outside the tent rushed over, shouting as they went.
When they hurriedly tried to help Li Mi up, they discovered a horrifying dent in his back.
It was clear that only the air was being exhaled, and no more air was being taken in.
"Qin Qiong...you...how dare you..."
Li Mi turned his head with difficulty, looking at Qin Qiong, who was approaching step by step with a livid face, his eyes filled with disbelief, fear and resentment.
He couldn't understand how Qin Qiong, whom all the brothers of Wagang praised and regarded as the embodiment of righteousness, would suddenly turn on him with such ruthlessness!
How did he treat Qin Qiong when he was at Wagang?
Of all the wealth he plundered from those powerful families, Qin Qiong never missed out.
He treated Qin Qiong almost like his own father, fearing that he might be unhappy in the slightest!
But what about Qin Qiong?
They said they were going to find reinforcements, but they never returned!
When he returned, he even brought troops to help outsiders attack Wagang, the place he had sworn an oath to!
Qin Qiong owes him!
Even if he shamelessly pesters Qin Qiong and disgusts Qin Qiong now, it is Qin Qiong who is unjust first!
The money he demanded from Qin was nothing compared to what he had given Qin Qiong!
"My cousin has already sided with Lü Xiao. There's no need for a piece of trash like you to stay alive and get in my way!"
Qin Qiong walked up to Li Mi, slowly squatted down, stretched out his large hand, grabbed Li Mi's neck, and slowly tightened his grip.
"You...you can't...Lu Xiao won't...let him go..."
Li Mi's face turned from red to purple as he was choked, and his eyes bulged out.
He wanted to use Lü Xiao to threaten Qin Qiong, but he could no longer utter a complete sentence.
"Go to hell!"
Qin Qiong exerted force with both hands, his veins bulging.
In full view of everyone, they strangled Li Mi to death.
Only after confirming that the person in his hands was no longer breathing did he toss the body aside like a dead dog.
"Drag him out and throw him into a mass grave!"
He stood up, not even glancing at Li Mi's lifeless body, and casually gave orders to the dumbfounded soldiers.
As he said, since Luo Cheng had already joined Lü Xiao, Li Mi was naturally useless and instead buzzed around like a fly every day.
Rather than keeping such a person around to continue to disgust me, I might as well just kill them and be done with it, and have some peace and quiet.
Not long after, Luo Yi heard from his residence that a murder had occurred in the camp. He was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair and hurriedly led his personal guards to the scene.
"Shubao! Why...why did you kill Li Mi?"
Luo Yi suppressed his anger and asked, utterly puzzled.
No matter how incompetent Li Mi may be, he is still a pawn that Lü Xiao has placed here!
