It wasn't that Ge Xinyue felt that her words were too harsh.
But she suddenly realized that Lu Li was no longer the Lu Li before.
Now, he has broken through the realm of Mingyou, fought against the incarnations of gods and humans, and even planned to kill the top masters.
Unparalleled in the limelight.
So Ge Xinyue felt that maybe she shouldn't treat him with the same attitude as before, so she calmed down her tone slightly.
Seeing this, Lu Li seemed to have noticed something, and chuckled: "Sister Ge, why do you seem to have gained so many lives? Fortunately, I brought you a gift."
"After I go to see His Highness King Yan first, I will show you what I gained in Bazhou later."
After saying that, Lu Li winked at Ge Xinyue, which made the latter slightly startled, and then nodded dumbfounded, but the alienation in his heart disappeared.
Seeing her calm attitude, Lu Li turned around with a smile and walked towards the small courtyard.
In the yard, Mu Hongxiu was dressed in white, pretending to be sitting calmly under the tree. Although her eyebrows were slightly raised when the two came in, she still pretended that nothing happened and continued to fiddle with the tea cup.
"I have met His Highness."
As soon as Lu Li saw this situation, he knew that after coaxing the younger one, he still had to coax the older one. He corrected his attitude a little and bowed to Mu Hongxiu seriously.
The corners of Mu Hongxiu's lips were raised, and her tone was casual: "Farewell, I can't deserve this courtesy from Grandmaster Lu."
Weird!
Lu Li clasped his fingers, and this thought flashed through his mind, and he said with a smile: "Grandmaster Zongbu is also the general manager of the palace, and is a subordinate of His Highness."
"Really? You speak beautifully but do things casually. Is this your attitude as a subordinate?"
Mu Hongxiu raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Li, but she said with a bit of reluctance: "Have you ever asked my opinion before going to Bazhou?"
"This... I remember I informed Ge... Manager Ge." Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Ge Xinyue, gesturing for her to stand up and say a few words for him.
But Ge Xinyue turned her head, indicating that she would not help him, and at the same time sending a signal.
Sorry, I can't help.
When Lu Li saw Ge Xinyue's attitude, he knew it was over and the situation was probably getting bigger.
But Lu Li still forced a smile on his face and said cautiously: "That's probably because I forgot, so I should be punished."
"But... although this matter is my fault, this trip to Bazhou is not without gain. I..."
Just when Lu Li was about to demonstrate his merits, Mu Hongxiu raised her hand and interrupted: "Beheaded a few masters and also took the head of a top master?"
When she interrupted him, Lu Li hesitated and said, "This... doesn't count as credit?"
"Of course it counts." Mu Hongxiu said with a cold smile: "So what if we count the merits? The merits and demerits are equal, so let's forget about it. You went to Bazhou alone without informing me. I haven't settled this matter with you yet. Do you want to Be careful."
Hearing such a childish threat, Lu Li couldn't help but grin, thinking that Mu Hongxiu might have been too idle recently.
I just drink tea and admire flowers in the palace every day. There is nothing serious to do, so I will inevitably find faults. Therefore, Lu Li made a decision in an instant. He did not agree with her and said with a smile: "It is indeed my fault for not considering this matter. Your Highness, King Yan, please calm down."
Don't care who is wrong or right, or what the outcome is, just bow your head and admit your mistake.
Seeing Lu Li trying to fool around with such a playful smile, Mu Hongxiu also had a look of dumbfounding on her face, but her tone softened slightly: "Since you know what's going on, I won't argue with you."
"Let's talk carefully about what happened when we went to Bazhou."
Although she had heard the rewards of human slaughter before, Mu Hongxiu still asked Lu Li to explain what happened again.
First, Lu Li planned many things behind his back, and Ren Tu may not know the details.
Second, Lu Li's perspective on the problem was somewhat different from others. Mu Hongxiu wanted to hear Lu Li's opinion on this matter more than Ren Tu.
As for the third one.
That's Mu Hongxiu's selfishness.
As Lu Li had speculated before, she was indeed very idle now, mainly because she had no cultivation and could not get involved in many things. She could only learn more about the situation and give Lu Li some suggestions from her perspective.
"Actually, it's nothing important."
Lu Li thought for a while and then said: "The current attitude of the Bazhou families is obvious. Since the assassination plan was exposed, they are also worried about the revenge from Prince Yan's Mansion. Maybe they are not necessarily afraid of Prince Yan's Mansion, but they must have something more important. Planning, those aristocratic families don’t want to start a war with Prince Yan’s Mansion in advance because they are afraid of affecting more important plans.”
"So they pushed some masters to die as a way of releasing their goodwill and wanted to use this to calm the matter."
"It's just that the development of things later exceeded their expectations. In the end, the top masters were forced to show up, and a lot of things were exposed."
When Mu Hongxiu heard this, she suddenly asked: "What did you find?"
She felt that Lu Li would not act without aim.
Because what happened before proved that Lu Li's ideas were never wrong. As long as he feels there is a problem, there is often a surprising secret hidden behind it. Lu Li's sensitivity to these secrets has almost become instinctive, and Mu Hongxiu trusts his judgment.
Therefore, if Lu Li said this, he must have sensed something.
"It can't be considered a discovery." Lu Li smiled and said, "But I also arrested someone this time. What exactly they concealed will be known after a trial."
"You mean the grandmaster that Cao Hanbing brought back."
Ge Xinyue's eyes moved slightly.
Previously, Cao Hanbing took Biling back to Prince Yan's Mansion, and Ge Xinyue knew about this.
Lu Li nodded and said: "The man's name is Bi Ling, and he is not weak. I originally wanted to join forces with Bazhou Prefecture Master to kill him, but his attitude revealed some secrets, and the top grandmaster, the ancestor of the Qin family, came to save him. Him. I guess he must know something, at least something worthy of a top master exposing himself."
"What about Chen Yang?"
Mu Hongxiu suddenly said: "Although Chen Yang has secrets, he has never done anything beyond his reach in these years. He has never harmed the interests of Shenwei Division. Why are you suddenly suspicious of him?"
Hearing Mu Hongxiu's question, Ge Xinyue looked surprised and glanced at her without revealing any trace.
You know, when she knew that Lu Li wanted to take action against Chen Yang, Ge Xinyue immediately informed Mu Hongxiu. At that time, Mu Hongxiu carefully analyzed Lu Li's thoughts. No matter the motivation or Lu Li's thinking mode, Mu Hongxiu's eyes did not escape.
But Mu Hongxiu still asked questions knowingly, as if she was suspicious and wanted to test Lu Li.
Ge Xinyue couldn't help but feel nervous.
Could it be that Mu Hongxiu was afraid of Lu Li
It's not impossible.
Now that Lu Li has almost controlled the power of Prince Yan's palace, he himself has also broken through Mingyou. His power and strength are no longer the same. Now he forced Chen Yang to make concessions, and now he had half of the land in his hands.
Mu Hongxiu is a member of the royal family after all, so it is normal to be wary.
But Ge Xinyue was a little nervous, fearing that Mu Hongxiu's attitude would be too harsh and make Lu Li dissatisfied.
After all, Lu Li had worked hard for the Yan Palace during this period, almost always facing crises head-on, and almost lost his life several times. If Mu Hongxiu was really afraid or even suspicious of Lu Li at this moment, it would be too chilling.
Just when Ge Xinyue felt a little nervous, Lu Li had already spoken: "You should understand what I'm thinking."
Hearing this, Ge Xinyue held her breath and quietly observed Lu Li's face to see if he was dissatisfied.
However, there was nothing strange on Lu Li's face. While she relaxed a little, a thought flashed through her mind again.
What does this mean
Ge Xinyue suddenly realized something was wrong, because she remembered the 'crazy words' Lu Li had deliberately said to the cloud formation.
The answer Mu Hongxiu gave at that time was also very thought-provoking.
She said, 'I am waiting for that day.'
Just when Ge Xinyue wanted to interrupt this weird conversation between the two, Mu Hongxiu also showed a half-smiling expression, "Why should I understand your thoughts?"
"My subordinates thought..."
Lu Li raised his hands in salute and was about to speak some truth when Mu Hongxiu softly shouted, "Speak humanly."
"You should understand."
When Lu Li heard this, he immediately relaxed and said with a smile, "It's like I understand you."
