"You're really good at flattering me."
After leaving, Mu Ningqiu chased after Lu Li, trailing behind Lu Li like a tail, and mockingly said, "Is this how you used this method to deceive my aunt?"
"What do you mean by lying? Your Royal Highness, you are familiar with it. I will not accept the random slander."
Lu Li glanced at Mu Ningqiu, and then said: "Princess, you can't come to Prince Yan's Mansion so late just to chase and taunt me, right? If you have business, go and do business, and if there is no business, return to the palace as soon as possible. After all, you can be considered a daughter of a wealthy family. Body, if you stay out at night, it will be very unpleasant to hear."
"Who dares to take care of me?" Mu Ningqiu sneered: "And you are so eager to drive me away, and you don't have a guilty conscience?"
"Your Highness, didn't I just deceive you into something in the Black Prison? If you really still hold grudges about this, I'll return the things to you and then give you an apology."
"Apologise? What are you going to offer as compensation? As far as I know, you spent tens of millions of dollars on unpaid bills in the house, right?"
Mu Ningqiu said with a half-smile, "You can't even make up for this empty debt. Do you still have money left to compensate me?"
When Lu Li heard this, he broke into a cold sweat.
This empty account was exactly the huge amount of money he spent from the government when he planned to kill Yuan Jingtao. Although part of the money was used to pay Wanshitang, the rest was all used to purchase formation materials, and was of no use at all. On his own body, but strictly speaking, he did spend this money from Ge Xinyue, and he has not been able to make up for it so far.
According to his original idea, Lu Li planned to kill the wedding messengers from Jitian Demon Kingdom and then steal the betrothal gifts they brought.
But later, he was seriously injured by King Cang, and his soul went to the River of Two Realms, and then went to the Palace of Life. When he came back, all the messengers from Jitian Demon Kingdom were killed by Mu Hongxiu.
As for the betrothal gifts they brought...
Everyone was killed by Mu Hongxiu, so Lu Li couldn't help but ask where the betrothal gifts had gone.
"Why, are you curious about how I know this?" Seeing the hesitation on Lu Li's face, Mu Ningqiu said proudly: "What you did during this time in the imperial capital has been thoroughly investigated by me. , do you think you have any secrets in front of me?"
"Your Highness, are you trying to threaten me with this matter?"
Lu Li pretended to be surprised and said: "Princess, are you willing to make up for this empty account for me?"
"What do I owe you?" Mu Ningqiu spat, "You guys are still as despicable and shameless as ever. Just wait, it's a long way to Yanzhou, and I have plenty of time to settle accounts with you!"
After saying this, Mu Ningqiu stopped talking to Lu Li and turned back to Mu Hongxiu's bedroom.
Lu Li curled his lips, little girl, you still want to fight with me
But when he turned around, Lu Li had a headache.
"We cannot ignore the shortfall in the palace's accounts. The current situation is too chaotic and no one pays attention to this matter. We have to wait until they all come to their senses..."
When Lu Li thought of Ge Xinyue's cold face and Mu Hongxiu's half-smiling expression, he felt a little nervous in his heart, and then said fiercely: "Isn't it just money?"
With several 'cheating' money-making plans in mind, Lu Li paced towards his small yard...
…
"Auntie, we haven't seen each other for so long, and you actually spoke to that guy. I'm really angry!"
At this time, Mu Ningqiu was holding Mu Hongxiu's hand and acting coquettishly, saying reluctantly: "I don't care anyway, this time my father wants me to go to Yanzhou with my aunt. When we get to Yanzhou, I must avenge myself." !”
"What revenge?" Mu Hongxiu said with a smile: "You, if you don't change your temper, you will still suffer in the future."
"Didn't I learn my temper from my aunt?" Mu Ningqiu couldn't help laughing after saying this.
Mu Hongxiu said: "I have never taught you this. If your father hears this, he will say that I led his precious daughter away."
"Speaking of father..."
Mu Ningqiu complained: "He kept speaking for Lu Li today. I really don't know what's so good about this guy. You are all going to him like this."
"oh?"
Mu Hongxiu showed a hint of interest: "He also speaks for Lu Li?"
"Yeah, all I have to do is protect Lu Li openly." Mu Ningqiu snorted, "And he wants me to give you a message."
"He said... Auntie, I want you to think more about everything."
After hearing this, Mu Hongxiu's expression remained unchanged and she said calmly: "Think more about it?"
"Auntie, what does Father mean by these words?"
Mu Ningqiu was puzzled and didn't know what the profound meaning of her father's words was.
"He just can't stand me." Mu Hongxiu smiled, with deep eyes: "It's just a warning to me to think more about everything."
"Auntie didn't do anything wrong..."
Mu Ningqiu said: "Even if they have to think about it, they should think about it more. None of the officials in the dynasty are responsible, and they actually tie the rise and fall of a country to you, my aunt. Why don't they respect my aunt more on weekdays?" When something happened, he recognized my aunt as King Yan and asked her to take on the responsibilities of the nine kings of the Holy Kingdom. These people are really shameless."
Seeing that Mu Ningqiu was filled with indignation, Mu Hongxiu smiled and said nothing. In fact, she already knew the meaning of Mu Jingdai's words.
Think about it.
It's not just about the big fuss in the imperial capital this time, but it probably has another deeper meaning.
And this deep meaning is probably related to Lu Li.
"It seems that my imperial brother has begun to worry." Mu Hongxiu's lips curled up slightly. She only thought this matter was quite interesting. Then she reached out and touched Mu Ningqiu's hair and said softly: "It's getting late. , we will leave the Imperial Capital tomorrow, please go back and rest as soon as possible."
Mu Ningqiu looked at Mu Hongxiu's expression, blinked, and then said coquettishly: "I want to sleep with my aunt tonight."
"You girl."
Mu Hongxiu sighed helplessly, "You're so old, and you still use this coquettish trick, don't you feel shameless?"
"In front of my aunt, I will always be the little girl I was before."
Mu Ningqiu stuck out her tongue, which was a bit cute.
"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you." Mu Hongxiu shook her head, and then said: "But don't make trouble for Lu Li again in the future. His strength is no longer what it used to be. If you really want to make him anxious, take action. I’ll teach you a lesson, now my aunt doesn’t have the ability to support you anymore.”
"He dares!"
Mu Ningqiu snorted coldly: "I'm not a waste like King Yun. If he really dares to fight me, then I will let him know how strong the real Grandmaster Mingyou is!"
Seeing her proud expression, Mu Hongxiu smiled and shook her head, "You, it hasn't been long since you entered Mingyou, but you have already started to act like a grandmaster."
…
"Ling'er, how do you condense the true meaning of martial arts?"
In the courtyard, Lu Li was practicing breathing techniques, and a trace of golden light condensed in his body. At the same time, he discussed the true meaning of martial arts with Ling'er, who was sitting under the peach blossom tree.
Lu Li thought about this problem for a long time, but couldn't find any clue.
At this moment, the shortcomings of improving one's realm too quickly are exposed.
From the moment he entered Mingyou with the thought of the Two Realms River, he broke through three realms in an instant after returning to the True Martial Realm and became an Immortal Realm warrior. The substantial expansion of his strength realm caused him to lack the most basic accumulation.
Ling'er was holding the "Old Ancient Collected Relics" and reading it with gusto. When he heard this question, he frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "The true meaning of martial arts should be a carrier, a form used by warriors to carry the Dao. .”
"This form is difficult to comprehend. Even in ancient times, the true meaning of martial arts was extremely precious. Warriors who can comprehend the true meaning of martial arts often have the opportunity to become great masters at the Dao level."
Speaking of this, Ling'er asked curiously: "Brother, is there any confusion in practice?"
In recent days, she has become accustomed to calling Lu Li her brother.
Lu Li sighed and recounted what Mu Hongxiu had said to him before. After Ling'er listened, before she could speak, the little fur ball lying next to her said carelessly: "Can't you even understand this kind of thing? You guys The barbaric world is too backward."
"The so-called true meaning is actually a general term. It is something that can only be understood after taking a path to the extreme. The so-called ultimate way refers to the limit, the peak. If you practice boxing to the extreme, you can call it the true meaning of martial arts and practice swordsmanship. When it reaches its extreme, it can also be called the true meaning of martial arts.”
The little furball yawned and said calmly: "The key depends on whether you can persist. No path can be taken to the extreme casually. Because this is the foundation for your future enlightenment. Without this foundation, your path will be impossible. By extension, how can we become a great avenue level powerhouse?"
"In other words, the true meaning of martial arts is to take a path to the extreme? Then why is the killing technique a dead end?"
According to Little Maoqiu, Lu Li felt that the ancestor of the Ye family should not have walked into a dead end.
