"So, my family wants me to kill that third-grade guard?"
After hearing the cause and effect, a sneer appeared on the young man's face, "Prince Yan's Mansion is not easy to offend, why should I take action?"
"This is what the clan means." The old man still behaved in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, but he expressed the warning appropriately and beneficially.
In the final analysis, the so-called wealthy families also have to weigh their interests. Ai Ziqi's death may not matter, but what the Shen family is really worried about is King Yan's attitude. As one of the Nine Palaces, the Shen family will not underestimate the power of Prince Yan's Palace, let alone Prince Yan.
However, when it comes to matters of interest, the Shen family cannot easily make concessions. Prince Yan's Mansion is now a piece of fat in the eyes of the aristocratic family. Everyone has been planning it for many years, and it is easy to harvest it on the pretext of disaster relief funds. Naturally, Mu Hongxiu cannot be given a chance to break the situation.
Now that the Shen family has been pushed into the open, and Ai Ziqi moved out of his family before his death, the Shen family must set an example and test on behalf of the wealthy family.
There is no need to carefully calculate the trade-offs between interests. However, even if the young man knew it clearly, he still said with disdain: "You need me to kill a third-grade guard? When did the Shen family become such a waste?"
"Master, be careful what you say."
The old man standing aside had a bright light in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This is not only the meaning of the family, but also the meaning of the ancestors."
"Ancestor said that you have been too ridiculous in the past few years, and it is time to do something serious."
Hearing this, the young man's arrogant attitude calmed down a bit, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Since it is grandpa's wish, then so be it."
He turned around and said, "Send someone to send a message to the guard. In three days, Shen Fangge will go and take his life."
…
The backyard of the weapons shop.
Lu Li held up a copy of "Ancient Collected Relics" and read it with gusto. Many of them introduced the history of the Demon Sect and the customs and customs of the five major demon kingdoms, which inadvertently provided him with some knowledge about the Demon Sect.
"Success, Master Lu, they did it!"
At this time, Tan Long ran over holding a jade slip with an extremely excited tone.
Lu Li raised his head and put the book into his arms, "Are the shopkeepers ready?"
"Shi Yan is watching them and can start at any time." Tan Long said with excitement.
Through his observations during this period, he somewhat guessed that Lu Li was indeed doing something big. Especially the rumors about Zhen Guojin have caused a storm in the city. If there is no instruction from King Yan behind this, even if he is killed, he will not believe it!
Therefore, Tan Long has regarded this errand as a way to make a comeback, so naturally he is very concerned about it.
Lu Li nodded and said, "Have people rush to make the jade slips as soon as possible and distribute them to all the properties under the name of Prince Yan's Mansion. Tomorrow morning, I want to see all the shops selling Zhenguo Jin."
After that, he stood up and walked straight out.
Tan Long wanted to follow him, but Lu Li raised his hand and said, "I have some personal matters to deal with. You continue to follow up here and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Hearing this, Tan Long was a little reluctant, but he still said: "Yes, Mr. Lu, don't worry, there will definitely be no mistakes!"
After leaving the shop, Lu Li went straight back to Prince Yan's Mansion, only to see Ge Xinyue already waiting in front of the mansion, still looking cold, but this time, her tone was a little softer, and she welcomed Lu Li away. A few steps: "Let's go, His Highness is waiting for you."
"Please ask Sister Ge to lead the way."
Lu Li smiled slightly and didn't say any nonsense.
Now that Zhen Guojin is on the right track, tomorrow is the time for the acceptance results. He should come and report to King Yan, both emotionally and rationally.
Although it hadn't been long since I set foot in the courtyard where King Yan lived again, my mentality was already different.
After understanding some of King Yan's thoughts, Lu Li knew that his life was saved.
As for what kind of treatment he will receive in the future, it all depends on what he can bring to Prince Yan's Mansion.
After entering the door, Mu Hongxiu was still dressed in red, but she was not as lazy as when they first met. Instead, she was more dignified, with a playful smile on her face.
Lu Li saluted and said with a smile, "I have met His Highness."
Mu Hongxiu looked him up and down, as if she saw something new, and said in a loud voice: "In just two days, you have made such a big fuss in the imperial capital. I looked down on you before."
"It cost a lot of money to work with Wanshitang, right?"
After a slight pause, Mu Hongxiu lifted it up as if casually, still smiling.
Lu Li's face tightened, and he said aggrievedly: "Your Highness, if you want to find someone to do things for you, of course you have to pay a price. Besides, I am not familiar with the place. I heard that Wanshitang has a good reputation. Even if it is more expensive, it is worth it."
"Haha, little slippery boy, don't play those tricks in front of me. Do you really think I don't know that you gave three thousand dollars to Zhao Shanhe for nothing just to make friends with him?" Mu Hongxiu squinted her eyes and looked at Lu Li. He snorted and said, "This friend is really valuable."
"Your Highness, Wanshitang is quite capable. It's always a good idea to have a good relationship with them." Lu Li laughed sarcastically.
But there was no fear in my heart.
Because Mu Hongxiu's tone was obviously a joke. With her status and strength, if she is willing to make a joke, it is another form of recognition.
Whether it was true or false, Mu Hongxiu had obviously accepted him and recognized him as a member of Prince Yan's palace.
Similarly, he must also stand on Mu Hongxiu's side, which is equivalent to being a direct descendant of King Yan.
But Lu Li didn't care about this. After all, whether it was Yuan Jingtao or those wealthy families who had hidden hands in the mansion, they were just shady means in the final analysis. If King Yan really wants to rebel against him at all costs, the first person to be unlucky will be the gangsters in the mansion who are trying to steal everything from others.
Lu Li had seen too many things that cost him his life because of arbitrarily standing in line, let alone in this world of martial arts and spirituality. Instead of hugging Mu Hongxiu, a figure in the Mingyou Realm, he would think about those little cowards. Li, that is blind!
"You did a good job this time. Although it is still unknown what happened to Zhen Guojin, you beheaded Ai Ziqi and severely slapped the Shen family in the face, which can be regarded as a bad breath for me."
Mu Hongxiu stopped pestering Wanshitang. She changed the subject, stared at Lu Li and said, "Are you afraid that the Shen family will take revenge on you?"
Lu Li's face straightened, knowing that he was waiting for him to express his position, and immediately said: "How can you look forward and backward when working for His Highness? If the Shen family wants to take revenge, I will take it all."
"Ah."
Mu Hongxiu smiled noncommittally, "With your current strength, you really can't withstand the Shen family's revenge."
Lu Li suddenly said with a shy face: "Your Highness, you won't just watch me being killed, right?"
Mu Hongxiu sneered, "You're right, you little naughty boy."
She turned her palm over, revealing a palm-sized jade box, and said calmly: "This piece of sky crystal powder is a treasure that even I can't bear to use. You can take it to refine it, so you can improve your realm first."
"Also, the Shen family has sent that little lunatic Shen Fangge to kill you. The younger generation is asking for a fight. No one can interfere. You must not die in his hands."
After saying that, she threw the jade box over and said, "Let Xinyue take you to the treasure house to pick out a few things for self-defense and protect your own life."
