The light in the young man's eyes dimmed instantly.
For the sake of safety, Lu Li reserved the sword between his eyebrows as the real killing move.
When he fought with the 'monster' named Yu Niang, the opponent was able to recover no matter how severely injured he was. Lu Li was not sure whether these cloaked people also had the same ability, so the best way was to penetrate their heads directly. .
boom!
The young man's body fell slowly. Lu Li took out two long swords and calmed down a little.
Although the assassination just now seemed to be smooth and smooth, in fact, he had used almost all his skills, controlling two long swords at the same time, as well as the flying sleeves hidden in the dark, pulled by the air machine, and could release attacks at any time. Sword, these combined, it is not much easier than the previous battle with the second-level monster in the sea of monsters.
In other words, this life-and-death battle is actually more dangerous than the fight against that second-level monster.
But fortunately, in the end, this young man with tricky abilities lost because of his carelessness.
"Sorry, I don't have time to continue playing with you now."
Shaking off the blood on the blade of the sword, Lu Li glanced at the remaining cloaked men, waved his hand, raised his finger, and the three swords flew together. The moment they were submerged into the sword box, Lu Li's figure flew past and grabbed one directly. A cloaked man's neck was thrown against the wall extremely cruelly, he picked up the sword box and ran out of the alley.
Several cloaked men recovered from their previous shock and immediately set out to pursue him.
"Stop...chasing..."
at this time.
The young man who had collapsed on the ground and seemed to have turned into a corpse suddenly made a weak voice, "This guy... is not easy to deal with... go back and inform the lady."
"Sir, are you injured?"
A cloaked man hurried over and helped the young man up. He saw the black flesh and blood squirming in the wound between the young man's eyebrows, but his eyes lost their luster, and he said with pain on his face: "I... used it up." The source of demonic energy given by the princess is fine for the time being. Go back as soon as possible and don’t get entangled with him!”
As the black flesh squirmed, the boy's voice became clearer and clearer, but his eyes could no longer see, and even black blood was flowing out.
He endured the severe pain in his body, covered his right eye, and said coldly: "I will definitely go to him personally to get revenge for these two swords in the future!"
"Walk!"
After hearing his order, all the cloaked men no longer hesitated and gathered around. The cloaked man who was supporting him directly carried him on his back, and they left the alley without a trace.
While they were leaving, on the other side of the street, two men dressed as ordinary people seemed to be feeling something and glanced at each other.
Then, one of the men whispered: "Why didn't you take action before?"
Another man said calmly: "The four leaders of the Earth Department are higher than you and me in terms of rank. If he can't even deal with these miscellaneous fish, why should he sit in that position?"
"That is the matter of the Earth Department. Even if he becomes the big leader, he will not be able to control our Heaven Department. But today we did not take action, and this matter cannot be hidden from His Highness King Yan."
The man who spoke first didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and said calmly: "If His Highness, King Yan, is held accountable, I will truthfully report what happened today."
"what ever."
The other man showed a playful expression, glanced in the direction Lu Li left, and whispered: "But this guy does have some skills. Although his strength is a bit lacking, in terms of his methods and character, I'm afraid Wen Zhengrong is not. His opponent.”
"I haven't seen a kid like this who deserves a beating for a long time."
Having said this, he stood up slowly, made a gesture to his colleagues, and then disappeared into the crowd.
As Tianbu spies, they still have a lot to find out. Although the battle that took place in the alley was important, it was not the most important thing in the current situation.
"After being targeted by that group of lunatics, his good days are over." The man who stayed there straightened his shorts and sat there as if in a nap, concentrating his breath to the extreme.
…
After returning to Prince Yan's Mansion, the first thing Lu Li did was to find Ge Xinyue and describe to her the situation of the cloaked men he had encountered previously.
Ge Xinyue listened quietly, without any expression on her face, and asked softly: "Just based on what you said, it doesn't prove that they are the envoys of the Jitian Demon Kingdom. Moreover, even if they are indeed, now such We can no longer add to the situation."
Hearing Ge Xinyue's answer, Lu Li sighed slightly in his heart, but he didn't feel disappointed at all. Instead, he asked, "His Highness still hasn't come back?"
Ge Xinyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Your Highness has a very important thing to do. Her whereabouts have been listed as the top secret of the Tianbu."
"So serious?" Upon hearing this, Lu Li suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
At this juncture, Mu Hongxiu left Prince Yan's Mansion alone and used the power of Shenwei Division to hide her whereabouts. This was not good news.
There are only two possibilities for her to face the problem with this attitude. The first is that the Jitian Demon Kingdom has been unable to restrain itself and has sent powerful enough warriors to quietly enter the territory of the Holy Kingdom. It is even possible that it is the The Demon King of Heaven came in person.
Second, Mu Hongxiu already had a different plan, and she didn't want to share this plan with anyone and insisted on completing it by herself.
No matter which one it is, it is not good news for Lu Li.
If it was the first type, he wouldn't be able to get involved in a battle of that level, let alone help. But if it's the second kind, it's even more terrifying to him now than the first one.
It's just a lack of strength, which is understandable. But if Mu Hongxiu has other thoughts and unexpected changes occur to the plan, everything Lu Li has done so far will be in vain, and there is even the possibility of a complete collapse.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Li said solemnly: "If His Highness comes back, please notify me as soon as possible, Sister Ge."
"That's no problem." Ge Xinyue responded.
Then, Lu Li said, "Also, I hope Sister Ge can do me a small favor."
"Um?"
Ge Xinyue looked surprised.
She didn't expect that Lu Li would beg her again.
However, she did not agree immediately, but asked: "I am now the only steward of Prince Yan's Mansion. Your Highness is not here, so I have to personally handle all matters in the Mansion. I need to hear your request before I can decide."
Lu Li said straight to the point: "Sister Ge, don't worry. It's not a troublesome thing. I just want to ask my sister to pay me some money from the accounting room in the house."
"You want money?"
Ge Xinyue really showed a strange expression this time.
From the day Lu Li entered Prince Yan's Mansion, except for the little money Mu Hongxiu gave him to build relationships, Lu Li never had much money in his hands.
Even the last bit of savings he had left was squandered while completing the earth mission, but even in this situation, he never asked for a single coin from Prince Yan's Mansion.
"To be honest with you, sister, the amount to be used this time may be very large." Lu Li smiled bitterly and said, "There should be some left over from the town's national fund, right? Just pay that part to me."
"The balance of the town's national fund is in the tens of millions. Are you sure you want to use so much?"
As the head of the internal affairs department, Ge Xinyue has always been very sensitive to expenses. When she heard Lu Li's request, she immediately frowned.
It wasn't that she didn't want to hand over the money to Lu Li.
But the money is just too big.
With tens of millions of dollars involved, even the ministers of the DPRK and China will have to discuss this matter for several days before they can make a proper decision. Lu Li wanted to spend such a large amount of money from the house with just one word, so Ge Xinyue couldn't help but be careless.
"Sister Ge, don't worry, all the money will not be spent, and I will return it in full before long."
Lu Li did not explain what he wanted to do.
I believe Ge Xinyue also knows it in her heart.
Lu Li's biggest difficulty at the moment was the rebellion in the Imperial City branch. Wen Zhengrong, a warrior at the peak of immortality, was not that easy to kill.
Even if it costs such a large sum of money, Ge Xinyue doesn't think it's strange after thinking about it carefully.
But she was still confused: "It's okay to spend the money, but how do you want to earn it back?"
Of course she heard what Lu Li meant.
It means that not only did he use the money in vain, but he may pay it back with interest in the future.
It seems like yesterday that the myth created by Zhen Guojin was still there. Ge Xinyue was very curious as to what kind of ideas Lu Li could come up with to earn such a large amount of money in a short period of time.
"Sister Ge, it's better not to ask about this." Lu Li sighed and did not explain anything.
He couldn't tell Ge Xinyue that before long, he would assassinate the wedding messenger from Jitian Demon Kingdom and steal the betrothal gift belonging to Mu Hongxiu, right
Even if Ge Xinyue was indeed trustworthy, these words could only rot in his stomach.
Because of the current situation, the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom, the court, and most of the people in Shenwei Division are not sure they can be trusted. In the final analysis, this desperate plan was Lu Li's insistence.
Without the strength to back him up, he had to be careful and not make any mistakes.
"Okay, you wait here for a moment, I will take out the money, and you can go to the house to exchange it for jade coins of equivalent value, which will be more convenient to use."
Ge Xinyue didn't ask any more questions, left a sentence to Lu Li, turned around and went to the depths of the palace.
Lu Li watched her leave and pondered for a while, then began to think about how to use the money and how to maximize the profits.
Now that even the envoys of the Jitian Demon Kingdom are involved, the plan to kill Wen Zhengrong must be faster.
