"Master Lu."
After leaving Zhang's house, Shi Yan took an umbrella and hurriedly greeted him, as if he wanted to ask Lu Li if he was injured.
But seeing Lu Li's smiling face, Shi Yan held back his words.
"Thanks a lot."
Lu Li glanced at him and found that he was completely soaked and that the umbrella was tilted toward him intentionally, so he patted his shoulder and asked, "How are Cheng Yu's arrangements?"
Shi Yan originally wanted to explain why he had such hard work, but when he heard Lu Li ask, he subconsciously replied: "Chief Cao has already come to pick him up, but before leaving, Cheng Yu wants me to bring him to you." One word."
"Oh? What are you talking about?"
Lu Li felt a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu had something to say to him in the end.
Shi Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Cheng Yu said that the Snow Fencing Sword is only temporarily stored with you until..."
"When he feels that he has the ability to come to me, he will definitely come to me for revenge and take the snow sword back?"
Lu Li asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Shi Yan nodded silently.
Although Lu Li's words may not be entirely correct, the general meaning is still the same.
Cheng Yu's words at that time were actually more extreme than Lu Li had guessed.
"Such words can be treated as a child's venting. Don't take it seriously." Lu Li said: "You may not think that this guy is a traitor to Lunjian Peak, but he is in a holy land of swordsmanship like Lunjian Peak, so he has seen a lot of people. Only after defeating all the geniuses can he become one of the Seven Swordsmen. Today he lost to me, and it was a disastrous defeat without any suspense. To say how convinced he is is not necessarily true. A warrior who can become a genius is naturally a little proud. , His bones are harder than anyone else’s, if I were to break them so easily, I would think this guy is nothing more than that.”
After finishing speaking, Lu Li asked again: "Cao Hanbing doesn't have anything to say to you?"
Shi Yan finally came back to his senses. He was still thinking about Lu Li's previous words, but he still replied: "Chief Cao just said that he is very busy now. From now on, you'd better do such small things by yourself. Don't bother him anymore."
"It's more like his character."
Lu Li smiled slightly and didn't say much. He looked at the increasingly thick rain clouds in the sky and said calmly: "Go back home. I'm afraid this rain will continue to rain for a while."
"yes."
Shi Yan didn't say anything, and was half a step behind Lu Li. He just did his duty as a bodyguard and held an umbrella for Lu Li to protect him from the rain.
When the two of them returned to Prince Yan's Mansion, guards immediately came to inform them that Prince Yan was inviting them.
When Lu Li heard this, he said to Shi Yan, "You go down first."
Shi Yan nodded, put away his umbrella, and silently stepped away.
Immediately, Lu Li showed a pensive expression.
According to Mu Hongxiu's temper, if she hadn't encountered something big, she wouldn't be in a hurry to find her.
"Lead the way." Thinking in his mind, Lu Li said to the guard very simply.
The guard nodded and led Lu Li outside the small courtyard. He bowed his head and left the place quickly.
Lu Li glanced at the formation outside the small courtyard, reinforced it casually, and then stepped into it. To his surprise, Ge Xinyue was not there.
Now that the matters in the Ministry of Land are almost coming to an end, Cao Hanbing is idle. Although Ge Xinyue still has some problems that need to be dealt with personally, it stands to reason that she should be back in the palace now.
Doubts only flashed through Lu Li's mind, and then disappeared without a trace.
Because Lu Li saw Mu Hongxiu sitting in the yard.
"Are you looking for me?" Lu Li walked to the stone table and bench and noticed that Mu Hongxiu's face looked a little unhappy. He immediately realized that something might have happened.
At this time, she was holding a letter that had been specially encrypted by the Holy Kingdom. She did not raise her head and just whispered: "Sit down."
Just when Lu Li was feeling strange, Mu Hongxiu had already placed the letter on the table and pushed it toward him: "Read it yourself."
Normally, this kind of specially encrypted letters can only be handled directly by the real dignitaries of the Holy Kingdom, that is, the Nine Kings. However, her behavior was not in line with the rules.
However, this small detail made Lu Li feel shocked.
Mu Hongxiu has always been a very strict character. She would do this. In addition to showing her trust, it was also the content of the letter that made her a little undecided.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Li picked up the letter, smoothed it gently, and quickly read the contents.
After reading it, a look of solemnity appeared on Lu Li's face.
"What do you think?"
Mu Hongxiu glanced at him and said calmly: "The contents of this letter should be spread among the upper echelons of the Holy Kingdom soon."
After hearing her words, Lu Li pondered and said, "Is the content true?"
"The signature has Lin Wangbei's marshal's seal, as well as the emblems of Tianquan, Wulie, and Dingjun. This cannot be faked. Looking at the entire Tiantian Holy Kingdom, no one has the ability to fake it."
"The content in the letter must be true."
Mu Hongxiu gave the answer.
And this answer makes the current situation even more difficult.
Lu Li couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I have long thought that there might be problems in the border war, but I never expected that this problem would come so quickly. Marshal Lin personally led the troops there, and he could not let the Jitian Demon Kingdom's offensive go. The delay has only intensified, which shows that Jitian Demon Kingdom can no longer wait.”
While speaking, Lu Li's eyes fell on the letter again. Most of the content in it was explaining the war situation at the border during this period. However, at the end, he added a shocking sentence.
'Border barriers will be breached and we need to respond quickly. '
This tug-of-war that has lasted for several months has finally come to an end.
The border gates of Jitian Demon Kingdom also seem to be showing signs of being unsustainable. Although the decision may be made by several strong men present after weighing the pros and cons, once the border gates are broken, even if the surrounding state capitals respond quickly, I am afraid that There is no way to prevent the flames of war brought by the Jitian Demon Kingdom from burning throughout the Holy Kingdom.
Unless the beheading plan can be implemented quickly and the Jitian Demon Emperor is killed, the Jitian Demon Kingdom will be so menacing that no matter whether they win or lose, the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom will leave a mess on the ground and mourn all over the land.
Mu Hongxiu noticed Lu Li's eyes and knew what he was thinking, so she said simply: "Behead the Demon Emperor, you know this is impossible."
The corners of her lips were slightly raised, not coldly, but just self-deprecating.
Because she once had such a crazy idea, but in the end, she was deprived of her cultivation before she could even take the step forward to the Heaven-Devouring Holy Kingdom.
After such a long period of calm thinking, Mu Hongxiu had already figured out that even if she still had that invincible cultivation level, she could use the demonic energy to enter her body and completely unlock the power of the demon-control pattern, risking her life to kill the extremely evil demon. The emperor's may not exceed 30%.
Not to mention that the Jitian Demon Emperor himself is an invincible top master, the martial arts of the Jitian Demon Kingdom far exceeds that of the other four countries. Whether it is the number of relatively powerful people or the quality of the warriors and soldiers, it is enough to keep the Jitian Demon Emperor very closely. Protect it.
If she really reached the Jitian Demon Kingdom, she might have been exhausted by other powerful men before she even saw the face of the Jitian Demon King.
"It may be impossible to behead the Demon Emperor, but we... can also behead others."
Lu Li pressed a name with his thumb, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"You want to kill that eldest princess?" Mu Hongxiu was surprised at first, then shook her head and said: "Although she is now in charge of many decisions of the Jitian Demon Kingdom, and even the border battles are planned by her, even if you kill She is of no help. The Jitian Demon Kingdom is not strong as an individual, but as a whole. No matter you kill the eldest princess or simply kill the Jitian Demon Emperor, it is impossible to stop the Jitian Demon Kingdom."
"How can you know if you don't try."
Lu Li did not argue with Mu Hongxiu about the matter. After putting down the letter, he said calmly: "However, the actions of Jitian Demon Kingdom are too coincidental. There is no further story about the incident in Daxue State, and the chaos of the divine religion has not been resolved. , now even the Heavenly Ministry has a problem. The Heavenly Demon Kingdom chooses to break through the border at this time, there are definitely more than one or two people behind this, and there should be many traitors who are supporting them. "
