"He said he was going to visit the Hou family?"
Listening to the female guard's explanation, a look of surprise flashed across Mu Hongxiu's face, and then she looked at Ge Xinyue beside her.
Ge Xinyue also looked incomprehensible and shook her head, indicating that she was not aware of this matter.
During this time, she and Cao Hanbing were busy gathering the local forces, and rarely returned to the house. Today, she happened to catch up with her to take a break from her busy schedule. At the same time, she wanted to come back and report on her gains these days, but she didn't expect that she actually caught up with Lu Li. Go out and 'cause trouble'.
"Back to Your Highness, Manager Lu did indeed say so."
The female guard was also confused. Lu Li was vague at the time and didn't explain much. He just said that he was going to visit the Hou family.
Mu Hongxiu narrowed her eyes, nodded and said, "Did he take anyone with him to leave?"
Upon hearing this, the female guard immediately replied: "There are also two guards, Tan Long and Shi Yan."
Tan Long and Shi Yan are now Tongxuan warriors. In order to facilitate their actions, Lu Li also asked Mu Hongxiu to give them the title of third-level bodyguard, which raised the status of these two people a lot.
"I see."
As soon as Mu Hongxiu heard the names of these two people, she knew that there should be no risk in this matter, and said gently: "Go down."
The female guard said yes and left the courtyard.
After she left, Mu Hongxiu looked at Ge Xinyue again and asked, "What do you think of this?"
"Lu Li will never take action at will. Now that the situation between us and the Yanzhou family is balanced, he took the initiative to go to the Hou family to provoke and break the tacit understanding between the two parties. There must be some conspiracy."
Ge Xinyue thought about it for a while, thinking according to Lu Li's thoughts, and felt that there must be some deep meaning behind Lu Li's behavior.
"He is becoming more and more elusive in his actions now. Although I know he must have a reason, such reckless behavior is still quite troublesome."
Mu Hongxiu rubbed her eyebrows and sighed softly.
Ge Xinyue smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry too much. Lu Li is a Grandmaster after all. If the top ones don't take action, looking at the entire Yanzhou, I'm afraid no one can hurt his life."
Today's Lu Li is no longer the young warrior who was beaten half to death by Cang Wang's move and had to have Mu Hongxiu step in to save his life.
Now he has the confidence to fight even if he is facing a master at the peak of Mingyou. If you meet a master from the late Mingyou period, you might be able to fight back and forth.
As for the masters in the middle and early Mingyou periods...
Unless they could mobilize more than five people at a time, and they were still willing to fight to the death, they wouldn't be able to kill Lu Li at all.
When Mu Hongxiu heard this, she thought about it for a while, and felt that it was the same truth, so she laughed at herself: "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten that this kid was messing around and became a master. And now I am... Rely on his breath and be protected by him.”
While speaking, Mu Hongxiu snapped her fingers, and a trace of golden light flashed across her fingertips.
That is the power of the fundamental law.
Now she has completely refined the part of the golden energy Lu Li gave her. Although her strength has not improved much, her control of this new power has almost reached the level of proficiency.
After all, she is also an invincible grandmaster who has reached the peak. Although her basic energy has changed from true energy to this golden energy, which is extremely unfamiliar to control, she is also very fast in getting familiar with it. She has shown it on more than one occasion that even Lu Li was impressed by. Amazing talent.
Seeing the trace of golden energy at her fingertips, Ge Xinyue smiled even brighter, "His Highness is now able to fully control the power of the fundamental method. Perhaps it won't be long before he can return to his peak."
This return to the top certainly does not mean that you are at the top.
Mu Hongxiu was at the top level back then.
According to Mu Hongxiu's talent, coupled with the heaven-defying inheritance of the fundamental method, it is really not difficult for her to have the combat power of a top master again.
However, upon hearing her words, Mu Hongxiu shook her head decisively, "It's still too slow."
"Is it still too slow?" Ge Xinyue was a little confused.
Mu Hongxiu took out the pure white invitation she had sent to her house earlier and handed it to Ge Xinyue.
When Ge Xinyue saw the invitation, her expression changed, and she took it solemnly. She roughly understood the current situation after taking a few glances, frowned and said, "Who is trying to borrow a knife to kill someone?"
She knew about the existence of Daxue State.
I also heard the news that the Snow Lord was about to break away and leave, and the Snow State needed to elect the next Snow Lord.
So when she saw this white invitation, she realized something was wrong.
When she caught a glimpse of Lu Li's name on the invitation, Ge Xinyue showed a rare expression of anger.
Someone actually pushed Lu Li to participate in this 'grand event'!
Ge Xinyue's first reaction was to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Especially after seeing that the names of the five people on the invitation were all members of the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom, this thought became even stronger.
"It's still unclear who is behind this." Mu Hongxiu shook her head and said, "But this incident... really caught us off guard."
Now Prince Yan's Mansion has just got out of trouble, and everyone knows who it benefits from.
Therefore, this invitation not only caught Lu Li by surprise, but also put Prince Yan's palace into a passive position.
"Your Highness, this matter must be investigated thoroughly, and Lu Li cannot be made to feel grudge!"
As expected, Ge Xinyue also immediately had such worries.
If Lu Li felt that there were high-level officials from the Holy Kingdom behind this, or simply someone from the royal family was involved, it would be very difficult for the Yan Palace to clean up the situation.
"Don't worry." Mu Hongxiu's lips curled up slightly and she said, "He is not that reckless. I have already explained this matter to him, and I believe he can understand it. Even if Mu Jing really intervened behind the scenes...he can't represent it. The attitude of my Prince Yan’s Mansion.”
Ge Xinyue was suddenly shocked.
Mu Hongxiu's words could be regarded as 'treason'.
The entire Tiantian Holy Kingdom belongs to Mu Jing, and Mu Jing’s will is the direction of the Tiantian Holy Kingdom. As one of the nine kings of the Holy Kingdom and Mu Jing's biological sister, she actually said that Mu Jing could not represent the attitude of the Yan Palace. This sentence was actually an attitude.
It proved that no matter what role Mu Jing played in this matter, she chose Lu Li.
Even though Ge Xinyue recognized Lu Li's importance to Prince Yan's palace, she still couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Your Highness, we have to think about it in the long term."
"It doesn't have to be that troublesome."
Mu Hongxiu smiled and said: "My imperial brother has always wanted to support Ningqiu to become the emperor. If this happens, Ningqiu will be the next master of the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven. Until then... "
Speaking of this, Mu Hongxiu seemed to suddenly think of something, shook her head and remained silent.
Ge Xinyue was aware of Mu Hongxiu's complicated emotions at that moment, and vaguely guessed something, but she didn't know how to speak, so she could only direct the topic to Daxue State: "If Lu Li really goes to Daxue State, I'm afraid It’s more bad than good.”
Seeing the five names on the list, except for Jiang Wanli, Dong Ao, Mei Wushuang, and Lin Wangbei were all top masters. And Jiang Wanli, as the successor of the Son of God of the Jiang family, even if his realm has not yet reached the top level, based on the background of the ancient Jiang family, even if he piles it with treasures, he can reach the top level. Combat strength.
As for the five candidates sent by Zhengdao, there is no need to go into details. Even if they are not all geniuses from the Holy Land, they should be top experts from powerful sects.
Among such a group of people, how could Lu Li, an outlier who had not even reached the middle stage of Mingyou, have any chance of survival
"They don't dare." Mu Hongxiu's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, "And Gu Haoran will never sit back and watch this matter. Since Lu Li has become his disciple and has become his youngest junior disciple, he has accepted it. The incense of their master. Although this guy usually does nothing, he attaches great importance to the inheritance of his master. If he takes over this cause and effect, there is absolutely no reason to stand by and watch."
After finishing speaking, Mu Hongxiu paused and said coldly: "Besides, by then, I may not be incapable of fighting."
After Ge Xinyue heard this, she realized why Mu Hongxiu was anxious about her own strength.
Although she didn't say it, she was now protected by Lu Li and couldn't do anything. For a proud person like Mu Hongxiu, this was even more uncomfortable than killing her.
When her Dantian was broken before, she could pretend to be indifferent. But since the fundamental method has brought her a glimmer of hope, she must hold on to this glimmer of hope!
