"Why, you don't dare to draw your sword now?"
Mu Hongxiu's smile was somewhat mocking.
However, her words made Lu Li a little frightened.
Could this woman be holding a grudge
Seeing her suddenly mentioning the matter of drawing the sword at that time, Lu Li's mind was spinning rapidly and he could only sneer and say: "Your Highness, can you please stop mentioning those old events?"
"Old memories?"
Mu Hongxiu smiled and said: "But it has only been a few months, and it is already a thing of the past to you? Manager Lu is really a noble person who forgets things."
Hearing such a sinister tone, Lu Li shed a drop of cold sweat. Finally, he felt worried and said with a pinch of his neck: "His Royal Highness, what do you want, just tell me the rules. I, Lu Li, consider myself to be not loyal to Prince Yan's Mansion. Geng Geng, but he is definitely doing his best."
"Let's not mention the matter of Zhenguojin before. Later, we eradicated Yuan Jingtao and planned to kill the local traitors. I, Lu Li, have no merit but hard work, right? I almost risked my life for the Yan Palace. When I woke up, I learned His Highness was in danger, but I jumped directly from the Imperial Capital Demon City to the battlefield without even taking a breath."
"Mr. Ge didn't come to my rescue in time, right? If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can just say it outright. There's no need to be so sarcastic."
"That's all for me. If other meritorious ministers come to the Yan Palace in the future, and His Highness Yan has this attitude towards them, how will the Yan Palace retain talents?"
"We can't let the hero bleed and shed tears, only to be heartbroken in the end!"
Lu Li's tone was so direct that Mu Hongxiu had no room to interrupt.
It wasn't until Lu Li took a breath that Mu Hongxiu said with a smile, "Are you done?"
"That's it." Lu Li nodded and returned to his playful smile.
"It seems that during this period, you have a lot of complaints against me and Prince Yan's palace." Mu Hongxiu said meaningfully: "If I had known you were so wronged, why didn't you agree to Yuan Jingtao's request and switch to Cangzhou? king?"
Lu Li's expression froze.
"Why, do you think I am really being kept in the dark like a fool, not knowing what you are doing behind my back?"
Mu Hongxiu gradually stopped smiling, "I just don't want to argue with you."
"Your Highness, these words are a bit unfair to me."
Lu Li said: "Since Your Highness knows everything about the situation in Prince Yan's Palace, you should know that when Yuan Jingtao offered me an olive branch, I rejected him without even thinking about it. If it weren't for my loyalty to Prince Yan's Palace, I would Why offend a strong man like Yuan Jingtao?"
"You are just worried about your own life." Mu Hongxiu did not bother to worry about the exaggeration in Lu Li's words. She smiled lightly and then said seriously: "No matter what, you have entered the realm of immortality now. For outsiders, Say, you are Mr. Lu of Prince Yan’s Mansion and the four leaders of the Territory. Now that my martial arts has been ruined, I can no longer protect you. Don’t you have any dissatisfaction?”
The previous words may have been meant as a test, or maybe they were just a few jokes. But Lu Li could tell that this was what Mu Hongxiu really wanted to ask.
Hearing this, Lu Li also put away his playful face and said without hesitation: "Although I, Lu Li, am not a good person, I also know the principle of repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. Regardless of the reason, Prince Yan's Mansion Treat me well, whether it is due to fate or mutual use, there is already a cause and effect between me and Prince Yan's Mansion that cannot be severed."
At this point, Lu Li paused for a moment, thought for a moment and then said: "When I was weak, King Yan protected me and protected me from the wind and rain. Now, although I am not a full-fledged person, I am still somewhat humble. With all my strength, it’s up to me to protect King Yan.”
"Protect me?"
Mu Hongxiu sneered, lowered her eyelids, and hid her eyes. There was no emotion in her voice: "It's up to you. You'd better protect yourself first."
"Lin Wangbei's visit this time may not necessarily be all out of good intentions. Although my imperial brother is a benevolent king, he is definitely not a good person."
"Go and regain the sect. Be careful and don't push yourself."
After saying this, Mu Hongxiu said nothing more and waved Lu Li away.
Lu Li looked at her deeply, took half a step back, and saluted solemnly.
"My subordinates resign."
…
"Are you done talking?"
In front of the door of Prince Yan's Mansion, Lin Wangbei saw Lu Li walking out and showed a friendly smile.
"I kept Marshal Lin waiting for a long time." Lu Li apologized with his hands in hand, then looked around and asked strangely: "Marshal Lin and I are the only ones on this trip?"
"Two people are enough."
Lin Wangbei smiled and said: "We are just going to convince those sects to stand in the right position when necessary. If we do it with great fanfare and grandeur, it will make them resist and will not help."
"lets go."
Lin Wangbei had no intention of chatting, and the relationship between the two was not familiar enough to warrant chatting.
Lu Li nodded, and Lin Wangbei immediately stepped into the air to lead the way.
The two of them flew quickly in the direction of the Purple Bamboo Forest, one after the other.
Just as they were leaving, Ge Xinyue also came to Mu Hongxiu and asked softly: "Your Highness, is your Majesty trying to drive you back to Yanzhou?"
Mu Hongxiu seemed to be deep in thought. She was awakened by Ge Xinyue's words and shook her head, "Even if he doesn't rush, we should leave."
"Your Highness?" Ge Xinyue looked surprised. She didn't expect Mu Hongxiu to compromise like this.
It seems that her cultivation was abolished, which really gave her a big blow. In the blink of an eye, she can even change a person's personality.
"Xinyue, even if my realm is still there, what's the point of hanging on now?"
Mu Hongxiu smiled and said: "The war between the two countries has become a foregone conclusion. Whether I, a useless person, stays in the imperial capital will not have any impact on the situation. So, instead of staying here and causing you all to be afraid, it is better to be free and easy and return early. Yanzhou.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an announcement came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, someone is coming from the palace."
This time, a female guard came in. After saluting the two of them respectfully, she said casually.
"Please come in." Mu Hongxiu nodded slightly.
After a moment, Liang Yuan, who seemed to be more than ten years older, stepped in, followed by two younger ministers behind him.
"Grandpa Liang."
Seeing that the person coming was Liang Yuan, Mu Hongxiu showed a bright smile.
Even Liang Yuan was stunned.
Mu Hongxiu at this moment was completely different from the overbearing King Yan who wanted to break into the palace at that time. They were completely different.
However, Liang Yuan reacted immediately and smiled happily: "You haven't called me for a long time."
"If Grandpa Liang hadn't helped me before, I wouldn't have had the chance to take that step and express my deep depression."
Mu Hongxiu sighed: "Now that my anger has dissipated and my state has been abolished, I feel indescribably relaxed. From now on, I no longer have to act like King Yan and keep others away from thousands of miles away."
After hearing Mu Hongxiu's words, Liang Yuan also showed emotion.
As the general manager who had served three emperors of the Holy Kingdom, the reason why Liang Yuan was able to establish himself so far was not his strength, but his connections and knowledge.
When it comes to connections, no one in the entire Tiantian Holy Kingdom can compare to this seemingly amiable old man. No matter how fierce the conflict over the interests of the political parties is, no one will turn their backs to provoke the general manager.
Apart from anything else, he actually watched the nine kings of the Holy Kingdom and even the high-ranking emperor grow up with his own eyes.
There are several people inside who were trained by him and spent their youth with them.
Mu Hongxiu is one of them.
As the only princess of the royal family of that generation, Mu Hongxiu has enjoyed countless favors since she was a child, but she is different from ordinary girls. From the moment she embarks on martial arts, she is as aggressive as a crazy girl, beating up teenagers all over the imperial capital. Talent has left the shadow of childhood on countless heads of today's aristocratic families.
Naturally, she was not liked by the late emperor, and even her brothers gave her the impression that she was only interested in having fun.
However, at that time, Mu Hongxiu was not afraid of anything, but she was only afraid of Manager Liang Yuanda.
Because among those children, Liang Yuan's favorite was Mu Hongxiu, and the one he was most optimistic about was also Mu Hongxiu.
Therefore, Mu Hongxiu had seen the strict side of Liang Yuan even the current emperor Mu Jing had never seen when he was a child.
Recalling this past, both Liang Yuan and Mu Hongxiu smiled knowingly.
