What Ji Dong then explained was a bit trivial and a bit useless.
He was probably a part of the Marquis's plan, and he really didn't know much. Moreover, the family itself was not very powerful, and could not get close to the core of the aristocratic family class. He might not even be as good as Gong Yunhong.
But he did tell everything he knew.
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he smoothed it all out according to his own logic, giving Lu Li a solid foundation in an orderly manner.
Lu Li didn't give him any more trouble.
After exchanging glances with Zhang Huo, Zhang Huo nodded slightly, indicating that he had memorized everything they told him.
Since Lu Li was the one doing the interrogation, Zhang Huo would naturally be responsible for the verification.
Although what Ji Dong said was something Lu Li thought was useless. But for the state capital, or Yanzhou itself, he actually told a lot of very important secrets. As for how to verify these secrets and how to use them next, that is Zhang Huo's business.
"Manager Lu, I have told you everything I know. Look..."
Seeing Lu Li and Zhang Huo exchanging glances, Ji Dong couldn't help but laugh twice and became cautious.
Now that he has revealed all the cards to save his life, it is inevitable that he will start to think wildly.
After all, Lu Li had never made any promises before. Judging from his previous attitude of flipping out like a book, it was not unusual for him to suddenly regret killing people.
"You can live peacefully in Prince Yan's Mansion. I will send a few people to serve the Grand Masters later."
"Although you can't leave Prince Yan's Mansion for the time being, your food, clothing, housing and transportation will not be any worse."
Lu Li smiled and said, "As for when you can leave, I can't guarantee that."
"This... Manager Lu..."
Ji Dong's expression changed, and just as he was about to say something else, Zhang Huo stood up and said calmly: "If you think Mr. Lu is easy to talk to, why don't you talk to me?"
Hearing Zhang Huo's words, Ji Dong was silent for a moment.
Other masters who wanted to say something also remained silent and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
The reputation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Qingyan Army is extremely loud in Yanzhou, and is not weaker than that of the Prefect Mo Shenfeng.
If they offend Mo Shenfeng, they may die, but if they offend Zhang Huo, most of them will end up worse than death.
This guy's methods are vicious and cruel, and he has personally tortured many masters.
No one wants to provoke this evil star unless necessary.
"Everyone, don't worry. Although I can't let you go, at least your lives will not be threatened in any way."
Lu Li straightened his front, stood up and said, "The situation in Yanzhou is still uncertain. Prince Yan's Mansion can let you go, but will the people from the aristocratic families be willing to let you go?"
Hearing this, several grandmasters present also reacted.
yes.
Tonight, the nobles of the family suffered heavy losses. Except for a few of them, the rest are always dead or crippled. Even the Marquis is in a state of uncertainty. If they really leave the palace unharmed, then the entire Yanzhou The aristocratic families will ask them for an explanation.
Especially the Hou family!
How crazy would the Hou family be without Mr. Hou as their backbone
Ji Dong's face turned pale when he thought of this.
Lu Li walked up to him, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said softly: "The world has come, and you all have to choose a side. As for how to choose... I think you should have the answer in your heart, right?"
After saying this, Lu Li did not ask Ji Dong to express his position on the spot.
Many things still need to be thought about by themselves.
At present, the Yanzhou family has suffered a huge defeat. It has lost a lot of its master-level combat power and its vitality has been severely damaged. Although they may not be completely devastated by this, they will have to think carefully if they are allowed to face Prince Yan's Mansion head-on.
Especially these captured grandmasters couldn't help but feel a little confused when they thought about their future.
The family will definitely not be able to go back.
Even if he goes back, it will only bring trouble to his family, and even drag the entire family into being ostracized by the aristocratic family class.
As for defecting to Prince Yan's Mansion.
This is an excellent option though.
However, Prince Yan's Mansion still hasn't shown more powerful power, and several masters in the mansion can't help but hesitate. They are all hesitant.
Lu Li glanced at the few people, showed a meaningful smile, turned around and walked out of the inner house.
Zhang Huo hesitated for a moment, then followed Lu Li and left.
After leaving the house, Zhang Huo finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked Lu Li: "Manager Lu, why didn't you make an effort just now and let them submit to Prince Yan's Mansion?"
In Zhang Huo's view, if those people figured out the pros and cons, they should show their loyalty to Prince Yan's Palace on the spot and be used by the Palace from then on.
But Lu Li gave up this opportunity, which was tantamount to giving up the fighting power of these grandmasters, which made Zhang Huo very puzzled.
Lu Li paused, glanced at Zhang Huo, and asked without answering, "Director Zhang, the Qingyan Army should be the garrison of Yanzhou. According to your understanding, are there any hidden dangers in Yanzhou now?"
Zhang Huo didn't seem to expect that Lu Li would ask him questions in turn.
However, he still thought carefully and said: "The family is in chaos and the situation is unclear."
"Besides that." Lu Li asked again.
Zhang Huo hesitated and said: "The others...the only one is Jitian Demon Kingdom."
"After all, Yanzhou belongs to the central part of the Holy Kingdom and can provide support from all directions. However, if the border is broken, Yanzhou will soon become the target of the Jitian Demon Kingdom."
Occupying Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Bazhou is equivalent to establishing half of the victory for Jitian Demon Kingdom.
The Jitian Demon Kingdom is brave and good at fighting, and can almost win every battle. Even Zhang Huo can think of problems, and their commander cannot fail to think of this.
In other words, the so-called internal and external troubles of the Tiantian Holy Kingdom also apply to Yanzhou.
"So, this is a very simple truth." Lu Li said with a smile: "Although those idiots from the aristocratic families dare to collude with the Jitian Demon Kingdom, they are doing it for their own interests. Once their own interests are damaged, the aristocratic families will become irrational. A lunatic. But if you think about it carefully, besides Prince Yan’s Mansion, who else would harm the interests of the family?”
Zhang Huo was stunned, and then immediately reacted: "What does Mr. Lu mean... Jitian Demon Kingdom?"
"exactly."
Lu Li said: "They will soon understand that once the Jitian Demon Kingdom becomes powerful, their so-called aristocratic family class will immediately become the target of exploitation by the Jitian Demon Kingdom. Moreover, as one of the five countries, doesn't the Jitian Demon Kingdom have no Aristocratic class? Aren’t there powerful dignitaries?”
"Even if the Demon Emperor Jitian is willing to grant amnesty to the world and let them off the hook, how can those aristocratic families who are as greedy as them miss this great opportunity?"
"This truth is not difficult to figure out. As long as they think clearly, the chaos in the family is nothing to fear."
"What we have to do is not wait here for them to figure it out, but speed up the process and help them figure it out."
After saying this, Lu Li waved his hand and walked straight outside the mansion.
Zhang Huo recited Lu Li's words silently, his expression changed several times, and finally he had to admire him: "Awesome."
Yes.
It's just awesome.
Apart from these two words, he could not think of any words to describe Lu Li.
Especially the last words made him vaguely guess some of Lu Li's thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel that even from the same perspective as Lu Li, he might not be as bold as Lu Li.
Lu Li's final expression was obviously to resolve the crisis of the Jitian Demon Kingdom and the chaos of the family at once!
Although Zhang Huo didn't know what Lu Li wanted to do, it was obvious that Lu Li's plan was more dangerous than he could imagine.
Zhang Huo stood there and thought for a long time. Finally, he sighed slightly and his expression gradually became firm.
He felt that no matter what Lu Li's thoughts were, the only thing he could do now was to do what he should do well.
…
After leaving the mansion, Lu Li did not go to interrogate Biling first, but came to a side courtyard filled with the fragrance of medicine.
Some maids and female guards were busy in the courtyard. When they saw Lu Li, they all bowed and said, "I have met Mr. Lu."
Lu Li shook his head, then looked at the houses in the courtyard, "How is he doing?"
Most of the maids and female guards who could be sent here were proficient in medicine or alchemy. When they heard Lu Li's question, they looked at each other, and finally one of the female guards answered: "Back to Manager Lu, his condition... is very bad. .”
