When Ge Xinyue sent people to transport the seven large boxes of jade money away, there was still a somewhat incredulous expression on her face.
You know, she was still worried about money before, constantly thinking about how to overcome the financial crisis of the Yan Palace, and even hesitated to discuss the matter with Lu Li.
But she really didn't expect that this crisis would be 'resolved' so easily.
The total value of the jade coins in those seven boxes, Ge Xinyue only took a cursory glance and knew that it was about 200 million.
This is no small sum of money.
The entire construction cost of the palace in the state capital may not be able to consume so much money, let alone the destruction of a main hall, which can be solved with a little repair, tens of millions of dollars. In addition to the cost of appeasing the people and treating the general's injuries, 100 million yuan was settled anyway.
The remaining jade money is enough to make Prince Yan's life very relaxed, at least in the short term, he no longer has to worry about money.
Ge Xinyue had to sigh that Lu Li was indeed capable.
Regardless of where he got the money, at least judging from the results, every time Lu Li made a move, the Yan Palace could survive the crisis smoothly.
Sometimes Ge Xinyue even wonders why someone as capable as Lu Li was deceived into coming to the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom.
Are all the people in Xuanjian Sect idiots
Or...during those days in Xuanjian Sect, Lu Li had always been hiding his clumsiness
Fortunately, Ge Xinyue held back the question and didn't ask, otherwise Lu Li would have complained a lot.
During the ten years he was in the Xuanjian Sect, he became the strongest in the inner sect. There were even rumors that he was the most powerful swordsman genius in the Xuanjian Sect for thousands of years.
But even so, the stubborn old men of Xuanjian Sect still refused to give resources to him.
And some things are just so mysterious.
When he was in the Xuanjian Sect, Lu Li rarely had access to spiritual treasures, and there was no progress in collecting points. If he wanted to exchange for some resources, he had to work hard, and he encountered life and death crises countless times.
But when he was abandoned by the Xuanjian Sect, met Mu Ningqiu in the Black Prison, and was stuffed into Prince Yan's Mansion by King Yun by chance, what happened next felt like transforming into a dragon.
Although chance and luck are obscure and inexplicable, some things really cannot be explained by ordinary principles.
"Now that the palace is no longer in financial crisis, it's time for us to free up our hands to deal with local matters."
Just when Ge Xinyue was full of weird thoughts, Lu Li said: "Now Chen Yang has given in, Cao Hanbing, and Zheng An have expressed their attitude. Three divine killing seals... Although they are not the same as what I planned, they are enough. "
Ge Xinyue's brows twitched when she heard this, and she suppressed the strangeness in her heart and said: "It's very difficult for Chen Yang to give in. Three divine killing seals are enough to command the earth. If he doesn't speak, no one will dare to disobey you."
"Forcing that one line of perfection may lead to losing everything."
Ge Xinyue's attitude was quite mild, and she was just trying to persuade Lu Li not to have Chen Yang's ideas anymore.
This thousand-year-old master has so many tricks, no one knows what he is thinking. Now that he is willing to give in, it may not be because he is afraid of Lu Li. He may also have his own considerations behind this.
Ge Xinyue was worried that Lu Li would not give up and would go to trouble Chen Yang, really driving him into a panic. The good situation might be ruined.
"Sometimes, failure is due to negligence on the front line."
Regarding this matter, Lu Li and Ge Xinyue had different views. After whispering, they did not continue to dwell on the matter.
Although the two have different views, they are surprisingly consistent in their attitudes towards Chen Yang.
Chen Yang has hidden too many secrets. For such a strong man who may break through the gate of heaven and man at any time, it is better not to offend him unless necessary.
Thinking of this, Lu Li said calmly: "The forces hidden in the various states need to be won over as soon as possible. It is not convenient for Cao Hanbing and Zheng An to come forward for this matter. We also need Sister Ge to find some powerful people to do it. It’s best... to be like Senior Rentu.”
"Senior Rentu?" Ge Xinyue glanced at Lu Li with a half-smile but said, "We just met once and you already know how to call me senior?"
She was teasing Lu Li for being able to have a good relationship with anyone.
However, he did not delay the business and immediately said: "Rentu is the number one banned person. It is not easy to ask him to take action. I have a normal relationship with him, but we have some friendship. This time, I asked him to go to Bazhou to save you because of your identity. It’s special, he just wants to form a good relationship with you. As for the other banned killers... "
Ge Xinyue narrowed her eyes and agreed: "Leave this matter to me. If no one is willing to show up, then I will go there myself."
Lu Li was stunned. He was about to say that it doesn't have to be like this, but Ge Xinyue said, "Why, you look down on me as the third-ranked person?"
Although she has now shed everything belonging to 'Qinglian', everyone in the land still recognizes this name.
If it comes to a last resort, Ge Xinyue will personally go to gather the forces in various states and regions, and no matter who it is, they will give her some face.
"The calls of the God's Killing Seal cannot be used one after another, otherwise the word "leader" will lose its majesty. Please give Sister Ge a little more attention on this matter."
Lu Li thought for a while and finally expressed his worries.
Although he can leave the matter to Ge Xinyue at will, sometimes the feelings are worn away bit by bit like this. Although the two of them can be regarded as a life-and-death friendship sharing weal and woe, Ge Xinyue has also come to help many times, and their grievances and grudges have become even invisibly. If they always take a matter-of-fact attitude, one day things will change between them. The relationship between the two is clear.
Perhaps she noticed Lu Li's hesitation, or perhaps she understood the hint in Lu Li's words, but the corners of Ge Xinyue's eyes and eyebrows suddenly softened, and she said with a smile: "You saved King Yan's life."
She didn't say much, just one sentence, but she already said what she was thinking.
She is the killer Qinglian and Ge Xinyue, the chief internal affairs officer of Prince Yan's palace. But she is also Mu Hongxiu's second disciple, a warrior trained by Mu Hongxiu.
Ge Xinyue has only lived the three words "Mu Hongxiu" in her life.
Therefore, it was enough that Lu Li had saved Mu Hongxiu's life.
Lu Li opened his mouth, but Ge Xinyue had already moved away. Even if Lu Li still had something to say, Ge Xinyue did not give him the chance.
So, Lu Li had no choice but to "tsk", lowered his eyes and looked at the pile of files in front of him, thought about it for a long time, and finally sighed: "Whether you live for yourself or for others, only you know whether it is bitter or sweet."
After rubbing his fingers for a while, Lu Li buried his head in scanning the files. From time to time, a rather depressed sigh could be heard in the room.
…
Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed.
The turmoil caused by the previous arrival of heavenly beings has been calmed down. When the fear has passed, all that is left is chatting after dinner.
Someone made up a story about the night when the heavenly beings broke through the dome and descended into the world, and the huge golden gate. They were recited day by day, but the story became more and more magical.
This story gradually spread further and even reached the imperial capital.
Deep in the old street, Dong Ao and Gu Haoran were sitting on the side of the street, showing no image of being a great master.
Behind them, Yao Dou grabbed a handful of pine nuts and knocked them, and said casually: "Before, there was a celestial being coming to Yanzhou, which caused a lot of noise. Now the rumors are spreading in the streets and alleys, so you just ignore it?"
"What do we care about?" Gu Haoran put his hands in his sleeves and curled his lips and said: "Controlling the people is a matter for the royal family."
"Gu Haoran, don't you care about the world? If you don't care about such big things, what else can you care about?"
Yao Dou rolled his eyes.
Ever since Gu Haoran took him all over the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom, even if he had a fight with Gu Haoran, he would always find faults no matter what happened. It was normal for the two of them to bicker. Dong Ao on the side looked dull, as if he had no idea. Hearing the same thing, he neither offered words to persuade nor got involved in the quarrel between the two of them.
"You yourself said that the people in Yanzhou were coming from heaven, which means that the strong ones came from heaven. I can only take care of the affairs of the world, not the people of heaven."
Gu Haoran reached back and snatched a pine nut from Yao Dou, used his fingers to squeeze open the shell, and said calmly: "Besides, heaven is in charge of everything in heaven, so why are you worrying about it?"
