Lu Li felt a little unhappy when he heard this. "Your Highness, don't worry about whether I am qualified to hold the Canglang Sword or not. This is the benefit that King Yan fought for for me, and Your Majesty also agreed. Do you still want to default on His Majesty's debt?"
"So what if I default on my debt?"
Mu Ningqiu said: "To deal with such a despicable and shameless guy like you, how can I have any credibility?"
"Your Highness Princess, there is no need to talk about the grudges between the two of us here, right?"
Lu Li laughed angrily at her: "Now that we are on the same front after all, why do you target me again and again?"
Mu Ningqiu hummed: "Because you know why."
After saying that, she turned to Mu Jing and said: "Father, although the Canglang Sword is just a collection for the Holy Kingdom, its value is extremely high. If it falls into the hands of this guy, he will never easily Return it. I don’t know what trick he used to deceive my aunt, but you can’t be fooled by him!”
"You girl, don't you think your aunt is a fool?"
Mu Jing also had a headache.
Although he felt an inexplicable sense of relief when he saw that his precious daughter was in the same boat as Lu Li, the matter regarding the Canglang Sword was that he had promised Mu Hongxiu a long time ago and now regretted it. Mu Hongxiu was afraid that It's going to explode.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Mu Jing feels that no matter what kind of magical weapon it is, the greatest value is not to be collected by others, but to be handed into the hands of warriors who can display its power.
In terms of swordsmanship talent in the entire Tiantian Holy Kingdom, Lu Li is by no means the strongest, but he is the one most suitable for wielding the Canglang Sword.
"My daughter didn't say anything bad about my aunt." Mu Ningqiu saw Mu Jing's expression and knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so she gave up angrily.
"Okay, you have just come out of seclusion, and there are still many things you need to know."
Mu Jing raised his eyes and said, "Lu Li, come with Gu."
After saying this, Mu Jing glared at Mu Ningqiu, who had a look of reluctance on his face: "Just stay here and don't come over and cause trouble."
Having seen through her inner thoughts, Mu Ningqiu's eyes flickered and she whispered, "Father, when have I ever gotten into trouble?"
It seems that Mu Jing dotes on Mu Ningqiu very much. When he treats Mu Ningqiu, he doesn't treat Mu Ningqiu with much royal dignity. Instead, from the perspective of a father, he said sternly: "You haven't caused me enough trouble yet." ? Stay in the palace honestly, you are not allowed to go anywhere before tomorrow!"
"I know, I know."
Mu Ningqiu sighed, and then winked at Lu Li, her expression clearly saying: Just wait, our business is not over yet!
Seeing this, Lu Li rolled his eyes covertly and mouthed silently: "Who is afraid of whom?"
Mu Ningqiu's dark eyebrows stood up and she said angrily: "You!"
But before she could say anything, Lu Li turned around triumphantly.
…
In the side hall, King Yun and King Chu sat facing each other, both with strange expressions.
Liang Yuan had previously said that Mu Jing wanted to see them, but after waiting for such a long time, not even a single figure could be seen in the side hall.
Logically speaking, when the two princes are summoned by the emperor, at least a few ministers should be arranged to serve them. As a result, not to mention a minister, there is not even a maid.
King Yun and King Chu each had their own thoughts, but they did not communicate with each other.
Although there was no enmity between them, their relationship was not very close, especially since King Chu had a close relationship with Mu Hongxiu, which made King Yun always have a grudge in his heart.
But the main reason why they didn't speak was because they were feeling uneasy.
Such a solemn atmosphere made them have no choice but to think wildly, wondering if Mu Jing had any plans to settle scores in the future.
"King Chu, King Yun. Your Highnesses, Your Majesty is on the way over."
Fortunately, at this time, Liang Yuan walked into the side hall, breaking the awkward atmosphere between me and them.
At this time, Liang Yuan's words were like a life-saving straw for the two of them, and their expressions immediately relaxed a lot.
King Yun even smiled and said: "Manager Liang, it seems that His Majesty is a little busy with affairs?"
This means having some temptations in mind.
King Yun wanted to get a few useful words from Liang Yuan, but Liang Yuan seemed not to hear him and said calmly: "Your Highnesses, please wait a moment."
King Chu frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.
King Yun was also stunned.
Manager Liang usually doesn't have such a cold attitude. Even if he is not particularly easy to talk to, he is always kind to others and will not push people away so harshly.
You know, Liang Yuan's attitude sometimes represents Mu Jing's attitude.
He doesn't speak politely to others, which can only mean that this person is going to be unlucky.
King Yun thought about it carefully, and suddenly became frightened, and asked in a low voice: "General Manager Liang, but my performance in the hall today has offended His Majesty?"
Facing this question, Liang Yuan just smiled and had no intention of answering at all.
However, the more he behaved like this, the more uneasy King Yun became.
King Chu looked calm.
Because he thought he had done nothing extraordinary, and today in the main hall, he did not favor Mu Hongxiu too much, and did not add insult to injury, thus ensuring a neutral attitude.
For kings, sometimes it is best to not take sides.
King Chu, who was born in the royal family, knew these things better than King Yun.
Seeing the calm look on King Chu's face, King Yun was a little anxious and couldn't help but said: "King Chu, could you have guessed something?"
King Chu also ignored King Yun and remained silent like Liang Yuan.
The more they behaved like this, the more uncertain King Yun became. Just as he was about to ask again, he saw Liang Yuan raise his head and look towards the front of the side hall.
Mu Jing walked out slowly and sat on the chair at the top.
"I have met His Majesty."
King Yun and King Chu stood up at the same time and said respectfully.
When they looked up again, the two of them found Lu Li standing next to Mu Jing.
Seeing Lu Li, King Yun's heart immediately tightened.
"Did this kid say something?"
"No, that's not right. The most between me and him is the grudge that drove him out of the palace in the first place. Even if he complains to His Majesty about this trivial matter, Your Majesty will not pay attention to it."
"Is that..."
King Yun suddenly thought that he had coveted the training resources that Mu Ningqiu left to Lu Li.
That was the sky crystal powder that Mu Ningqiu used her share to give to Lu Li. You know, even princes and princesses cannot get too much of this high-level cultivation resource like Sky Crystal Powder at one time.
The box that Mu Ningqiu gave to King Yun was something she had saved up for a long time.
However, King Yun believed that only he and Mu Ningqiu knew about this matter. Even if Lu Li had some guesses, he probably couldn't be sure how much cultivation resources he had squandered.
"It seems that the princess has escaped from isolation." King Yun was just a little greedy and lacked his own opinion, but he was not a fool after all. After a little thought, he knew that Mu Ningqiu might have escaped from isolation.
Now is the critical moment for the war between the two countries. As the eldest princess of the Holy Kingdom and also a Grand Master, Mu Ningqiu should come out of seclusion to serve the Holy Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, please leave me and King Yun alone, but do you have anything important to say?"
Just when King Yun's thoughts were turning over and over again, King Chu had already stood up and asked doubtfully.
This is not the main hall, nor is it a court meeting. When we meet in the side hall, King Chu's attitude is not so formal.
"You, your temper is still not stable enough." Looking at his younger brother, Mu Jing shook his head and said, "Originally I had no intention of keeping you, but your performance in the hall today really disappointed me."
This is about accountability.
King Chu's expression did not change and he asked directly: "My brother is stupid, I don't know why I have made your majesty displeased. Please clarify my confusion."
Mu Jing looked at Lu Li beside him and said with a smile, "Boy, I'll give you this opportunity. Come and tell King Chu where he went wrong today."
"Me? Where can I go?"
Lu Li was shocked by his sudden question.
I didn't expect Mu Jing to be so unreasonable and even have to think about this kind of thing.
But as soon as he saw the flash of narrowing in Mu Jing's eyes, Lu Li knew that the emperor was seeking revenge for hinting at Lin Wangbei.
At that time, Lu Li hinted to Lin Wangbei that Mu Jing might not be behind Mu Hongxiu's dethronement.
This was originally just a test for the Holy Kingdom Emperor, and it was also a sign of weakness.
It means that our Prince Yan’s Mansion knows how to proceed and retreat. If your majesty is kind enough to please show your kindness, please let us return to Yanzhou safely.
Strictly speaking, this wasn't a big deal, but it was a pity that Mu Jing remembered Lu Li because of it. In this scene, he was the one doing the 'beating'.
