Looking at them with some embarrassment, Lu Li looked at the female officer in front of him who was also trembling a little, and said helplessly: "Am I so scary in your eyes?"
Hearing this, the female officer couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Lu Li. The handsome face that had lost its youthfulness, but still showed that it was that of a young boy, came into view. It looked indeed harmless to humans and animals, and was not at all like the murderous man in the rumors. The blinking 'Devil'.
However, the female officer remembered the rumors in the palace that Lu Li had single-handedly bloodbathed almost half of the aristocratic families in Yanzhou, and the number of grandmasters who died directly or indirectly in his hands definitely exceeded twenty.
Not only that, there are thousands of warriors in the Immortal Realm and Tongxuan Realm.
Thinking of the bloody smell hidden behind the name Lu Li, the female officer couldn't help but lower her head and said with a trembling voice: "Lu... Master Lu... we don't know anything... please spare... spare us."
If it weren't for her special status, she would be exempted from courtesy when meeting important ministers. In order to maintain the face of the eldest princess, she would never kneel down and beg for mercy from Lu Li like other palace maids. I'm afraid she is one of them now.
Seeing that he was still getting darker, Lu Li's expression became even more awkward, angry and funny. When he was about to say something else, Mu Ningqiu's voice came from afar: "You guys, please step aside."
Hearing this voice, all the palace maids and the female officer bowed their heads and exited the palace as if they had been granted amnesty.
Lu Li raised his head, looked at Mu Ningqiu, who was wearing a black robe, and said with a bitter smile: "The outside world is going to spread rumors about me as a murderous lunatic, and you won't stop these rumors?"
"Why stop it?"
Mu Ningqiu frowned, "You have a good reputation and they are all afraid of you. It's easier to do things this way."
"But it won't sound good when it gets out." Lu Li sighed: "How can I cooperate with others in the future? I have never let others suffer."
"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want from me?" Mu Ningqiu rubbed her brows and said straight to the point: "The palace is not peaceful recently, I still have a lot of things to be busy with."
"Is it because of Lin Wangbei's matter?"
Lu Li looked at her and immediately guessed the reason.
Although Lin Wangbei himself is a neutral faction and has not had many contacts with the nine kings of the Holy Kingdom and other forces, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Wangbei and Mu Hongxiu were both one of the five geniuses of the Holy Kingdom, and they have not yet become Before he became the Grandmaster, he was still a dazed young man running behind Mu Hongxiu. This friendship was enough to influence other people's judgments about him and Prince Yan's Mansion.
Mu Hongxiu and Prince Yan's Mansion have recently been on the cusp of a storm, with one wave rising after another. Lin Wangbei's 'defection', to some extent, also affected Mu Hongxiu's reputation in the court.
Mu Ningqiu had heard a lot of discordant voices recently, and she had tried her best to do so, but with little success.
Now when she heard Lu Li say this, she immediately glared at Lu Li fiercely: "Who do you think this is because of?"
"If you hadn't made such a big mistake in Yanzhou, my aunt wouldn't have been involved in this matter."
After complaining, Mu Ningqiu passed him and walked deeper into the palace.
Seeing this, Lu Li could only follow her and said with a smile: "Although the process was not satisfactory, in terms of the result, Yanzhou's problem was still solved. Moreover, the aristocratic families in Qingzhou and Bazhou were so frightened that they were killed. An alliance was also formed. It won't take long for them to have some small problems 'internally', and they will also capture these two fiefdoms. If I have to say that I made a mistake, the only mistake was that I underestimated the Demon Kingdom too much. That's the big princess, she wins a round this time."
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists, and there is nothing to worry about."
"You said it easily, Huang Xuan is not that easy to deal with." When passing through the long corridor, Mu Hongxiu turned around and glanced at Lu Li, and said as if to remind: "Her situation is different from mine. In Jitian Demon Kingdom, Her power is second only to that of the Demon Emperor. She can even mobilize hundreds of thousands of legions at critical moments and has the right to command in battle. I heard that you want to behead someone. If you still have some sense, I advise you to give up on this. idea."
At this point, the two of them had already passed through the corridor and walked out of the front hall.
There was a bamboo forest in front of them, and the rich spiritual energy was overwhelming, and it had even condensed into mist.
Among the clouds and mist, you can vaguely see a clear lake next to the bamboo forest, with a lake pavilion standing there.
Mu Ningqiu walked towards the Huzhong Pavilion. Lu Li wanted to defend himself a few words, but when he saw that she had already walked away, he could only give up temporarily and followed her to the Huzhong Pavilion.
"Tell me, why did you come so far to find me?"
She sat on the side of the pavilion and sighed tiredly, signaling Lu Li to speak quickly.
"There is a workshop in the imperial capital. It is probably a secret place used to make war weapons. It seems to be controlled by the Ministry of Construction. Do you know where this workshop is and how tightly guarded it is?"
Lu Li thought for a while and asked his most curious question first.
At present, the information that I can get from Mu Ningqiu is extremely limited. Considering her current situation, it is difficult to provide any help in future actions. It is better to ask her about where Singyin is.
Although he had used the jade slip as a medium before, his experiment to pull Fang Yin into his sea of consciousness had been successful. However, if you really want to take back Tianbu, you still need to bring Fang Yin out of that workshop.
"Why are you asking this?" However, the moment Lu Li raised this question, Mu Ningqiu suddenly became wary and cast a suspicious look: "Besides, how did you know about the Zaobu Workshop? With my aunt’s personality, it’s impossible for me to tell you this matter, and there is no grudge between you and Zaobu.”
"Is this the result of your private investigation?"
Lu Li was about to answer, but Mu Ningqiu thought to herself: "Forget it, no matter how you found out about the existence of Zaobu, this matter is not something you can interfere with. I know where the Zaobu workshop is, but I can’t tell you that once something goes wrong in the workshop, let alone you, even my aunt and I will be impeached by the public officials and charged with treason with foreign countries.”
"I also warn you, don't provoke the Zaobu. Although those people are usually quiet, they have many weird things in their hands. Especially now is a special period. The people of the Zaobu are qualified to kill first and then report. Nine Kings I don’t want to deal with them.”
Although Mu Ningqiu's tone was a bit unpleasant, she was really worried that Lu Li would offend the Ministry of Construction.
"Is it so scary?"
"I see."
Lu Li nodded and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he asked, "What about you, what kind of trouble have you encountered recently? Tell me, maybe I can help."
When Mu Ningqiu heard this, she showed a slightly moved expression. After she stopped talking for a moment, she suddenly shook her head and said, "You can't help with this matter."
"Everything is possible, let alone this matter involving Marshal Lin."
Lu Li smiled lightly and said, "Besides, it's better to have one more person to help you than to fight alone."
"I'll be thankful if you don't help me." Mu Ningqiu glared at Lu Li, hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "The situation in the DPRK is not optimistic now. Lin Wangbei's charges have been confirmed, and the atmosphere in the military department Nervous, so many people were implicated. This matter can be big or small. After all, without Lin Wangbei, the biggest problem is the loss of military symbols, but with the prestige of the three kings, he can still hold the position of commander. But if he continues to let it go, The turmoil in military morale is very likely to affect the outcome of this war."
"What's even more strange is that Father, he..."
At this point, Mu Ningqiu paused slightly, as if hesitating whether to continue.
Lu Li looked at her expression and guessed some clues, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty refuses to see you, or even express any attitude on this matter?"
Hearing this, Mu Ningqiu glanced over in surprise, and then suddenly said: "That's right, this matter is not a secret. After all... If my father is willing to express his stance, Lin Wangbei's wanted order will not be issued either." It was issued so quickly. This matter bypassed many normal procedures. Not only did it not have the seals of the Ministry of Lei and the Ministry of Punishment, but even the draft decree did not have the approval of the emperor."
