Mu Hongxiu didn't just do it on the spur of the moment.
Although Zhenguojin was a great idea, what really changed Mu Hongxiu's view of Lu Li was the thunderous methods he showed during the implementation of Zhenguojin.
Mu Hongxiu, who knew Lu Li's origins, appreciated this very much and felt that he was not as stubborn as those righteous disciples.
In other words, Mu Hongxiu has now considered cultivating Lu Li.
Lu Li also knew in his heart that this was a test, but also a signal of acceptance.
So he sorted out his observations over the past few days in his mind and said calmly: "Among the nine palaces, King Chu and King An have always been on good terms with His Highness. And Tian Quan, Wu Lie, and Ding Jun hold heavy troops. , always guarding the border, although he has always stood up, but speaking carefully, he has no motive to be an enemy of Prince Yan's Mansion."
"So, when it comes to deep hatred, it can only be said that these three Highnesses are Yun, Cang, and Chu."
At this point, Lu Li paused for a moment, which made Mu Hongxiu ask with interest: "That's good, why don't you continue?"
"If you keep talking, I'm afraid you might be killed." Lu Li laughed 'hey'.
But Mu Hongxiu smiled and said: "I didn't expect that you, a little naughty boy, would still be afraid? Didn't you look so majestic when you killed Ai Ziqi with your sword and offended the Shen family?"
"At that time, I was doing something for His Highness. No matter who came to stop me, I dared to kill him. Now..."
Lu Li sighed and said: "With the size of the nine mansions, any one of them can crush me to death at will. When discussing such a huge thing, it's better to stop at the few points."
"Okay, looking at your behavior, I'm afraid you've already guessed that Yuan Jingtao belongs to King Cang, right?" Mu Hongxiu waved her hand impatiently, not giving Lu Li a chance to continue his performance.
But Lu Li laughed sarcastically, neither admitting nor refuting.
But the answer is already obvious.
King Yun will not be mentioned for now. Although King Chu is powerful, his reputation has always been excellent. Although he has some conflicts with Mu Hongxiu, it is just out of the 'brother''s helplessness towards his sister. You must know that Mu Hongxiu was unscrupulous and no princess at all. Everyone's expression changed when they talked about her. Even when the late emperor mentioned this daughter, he couldn't help but have a headache.
The King of Chu was still a prince at that time and held the most royal dignity. He was very dissatisfied with Mu Hongxiu's arrogance and tried repeatedly to take her back to the palace to learn the rules, but in the end she was beaten severely by Mu Hongxiu.
Therefore, the relationship between the two of them is like a family matter.
As for King Yun and King Cang, why Lu Li was sure that Yuan Jingtao belonged to King Cang was actually because Yuan Jingtao had been too calm during this period.
If he is really a member of King Yun, since he already holds a high position in Prince Yan's Mansion, there is no way he can just watch the success of the country's development without hindering it.
His calmness is naturally due to his confidence.
With King Cang on his back, he certainly has a lot of confidence. It can be said that apart from His Majesty, King Cang has one of the thickest thighs in the entire Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom.
Lu Li didn't know much about the hatred between King Cang and King Yan, and he didn't want to know too much.
"It is no secret that Yuan Jingtao belongs to King Cang. Neither he nor King Cang has concealed this fact."
Mu Hongxiu asked slowly: "Do you know why?"
"How could a young man know about such a big thing?" Lu Li immediately said back, not answering Mu Hongxiu's words at all. Mu Hongxiu was not annoyed at all, and said one word at a time: "Because, he wants Shenwei Division!"
"Shenweisi?"
Lu Li was stunned.
Lu Li didn't know much about this mysterious organization that he had once ripped off the skin of a tiger. He only knew that each palace held similar powers and each performed its own duties. They would not use it easily on weekdays.
But when he heard that King Cang's target was Shenwei Division, Lu Li immediately had some kind of guess in his mind, and he was also shocked by this guess.
"It seems you have thought it through."
Mu Hongxiu narrowed her beautiful eyes and said calmly: "He wants to integrate the power of the Nine Palaces, overthrow the imperial brother, and ascend to that position himself!"
After saying that, Mu Hongxiu said coldly: "Now that the Jitian Demon Kingdom has repeatedly violated the border, and a war between the two countries is imminent, this is his best opportunity. Using the war as an excuse, he holds the Nine Palaces in his hands and forces the emperor to abdicate."
Listening to Mu Hongxiu talking about such a huge conspiracy so lightly, Lu Li no longer had any hint of a playful smile. He even broke out in a cold sweat and his mind started racing.
Finally, he took a deep breath and said with a helpless smile: "Your Highness told me this kind of news, and you didn't even want to give me the right to choose?"
"You are a smart man and you have some connection with my good niece, so you have only one choice."
"Use me, or disappear."
Mu Hongxiu's voice was very calm, but underneath that calmness, there was a hint of doubt.
Lu Li looked at her and remained silent.
He really didn't like this feeling of being controlled by others, and at a certain moment, he almost wanted to take action against Mu Hongxiu.
You must know that in the certain death situation of Xuanjian Sect, Lu Li did not bow his head and surrender. Although he was afraid of death and cherished his life, at some point, he regarded his will as more important than life and death. .
"Lu Li." Ge Xinyue seemed to be aware of Lu Li's emotional change, and suddenly said: "Your Highness is the princess's aunt, and the person she is closest to besides Your Majesty. Although you were rescued by the princess from the Xuanjian Sect, if Without Your Highness, you would have died at the hands of King Yun."
Hearing these words, Lu Li's eyes moved slightly and he grinned: "Of course I will never forget the kindness of the princess. As for King Yun... If it weren't for Zhen Guojin, he wouldn't want to kill me, right?"
"you… "
Ge Xinyue's expression changed, but Lu Li didn't look at her and looked directly at Mu Hongxiu: "You want me to sacrifice my life? Yes, but what can your highness give me?"
Mu Hongxiu said with a cold face: "I have allowed you to enter the treasure house and select the treasures. Do you know how many lives of Tongxuan strongmen can be purchased with this reward?"
"I am a greedy person, and I deserved what happened to me when I went to the treasure house earlier. Not to mention how much benefit the Zhenguo Fund will bring to the palace, even if you get rid of it in the end, Your Highness will also solve the urgent need for disaster relief funds. If you confuse the two, then Your Highness might as well just kill me.”
Lu Li's voice dropped, and there was a hint of madness in his eyes, "If Your Highness allows me to breathe, things will be complicated, right?"
"Are you threatening me?" Mu Hongxiu stood up abruptly, her red clothes dancing like fire.
Her eyes were filled with anger, and she said coldly: "Only you, can you withstand even one attack from me?"
Lu Li was not afraid at all and still smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether you can withstand one attack or not. What matters is that you won't kill me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he faced the violent aura and rushed in front of Mu Hongxiu. With a fierce force, he was almost pressed against her!
"Be bold!"
Ge Xinyue's face was like frost, and he smacked it with his palm almost without thinking. The light blue light spurted out and hit Lu Li's heart.
