When Hua Ling heard this, she narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice: "No wonder you didn't kill my soldiers when I led people to capture you."

When Hua Ling captured Xue Li just now, she already had a certain understanding of his skills. Logically speaking, if she wanted to capture him alive, it would be basically impossible for her to kill him.

And when she led people to set up a formation to capture Xue Li, Xue Li did not use any killing moves against the soldiers who came to capture him. Every move he made in counterattack only hurt people, not killed them.

This situation is very unreasonable for the assassin who is eager to escape.

Hua Ling felt strange at the time, so after she successfully captured Xue Li alive, she did not immediately execute him, and her attitude toward him was considered polite.

"You are quite interesting." Lin Zhihuang said in a sweet voice as he looked at Xue Li, who was tied to the iron frame and bowed to her, without distinguishing between joy and anger.

Xue Li replied respectfully: "I have a humble status and want to see His Highness, but I really have no way, so I came up with this trick. I just want you to see me."

"You are not afraid that I will directly order you to be killed."

"No."

"oh?"

"Some time ago, an assassin attacked one of your subordinates a hundred feet in front of the palace gate. You must be investigating the person behind the scenes. Today, I have attacked Wang Sikong, who is in charge of your work. Why don't you come and kiss me?

To interrogate the person behind my scenes?"

Lin Zhihuang chuckled upon hearing this: "You have made no secret of your spying on the palace."

Xue Li knew this, and he could no longer hide his spying on the palace.

"To be honest, I have been waiting near the palace for the past two months."

Wen Nanfang asked quietly: "What do you want to do?"

"I wanted to meet His Highness by chance, so I recommended myself. But I have never found a suitable opportunity. That time someone under your command was attacked, and I happened to be nearby. I wanted to help you, so as to gain a chance to meet you."

"However, you have many capable people. After the assassination happened, you immediately took action to solve everything. There is no need for me to 'help'."

"I don't want to wait any longer, so I came up with this last resort. If I am rude, I hope you will forgive me."

Xue Li looked into Lin Zhihuang's eyes and stated the purpose of his trip in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"What if I don't forgive you?" Lin Zhihuang asked with a smile.

Xue Li was slightly stunned.

"you...."

"Wait." Lin Zhihuang quietly interrupted what Xue Li was going to say next.

Xue Li's tiger eyes that were very similar to Xue Qing's eyes narrowed.

Lin Zhihuang continued with a smile: "Your martial arts and strategies seem to be good. You are a talented person."

"I also believe that after you pledge your allegiance to a master, you will protect that master with your life. But..." Lin Zhi Huangfeng's eyes turned slightly and fell on the iron chain that bound Xue Li.

Xue Lijing and others wrote to Emperor Lin Zhi.

"But you're arrogant."

When Xue Li heard Lin Zhihuang's evaluation of him, he clenched his teeth fiercely, and the muscles on the side of his face moved accordingly.

Although Xue Li tried his best to hide it, Lin Zhihuang kept watching him, so his actions did not hide it from Lin Zhihuang's eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Zhihuang raised the corners of his lips slightly, and then added: "You are also very angry. If you are a general in charge of an army, you are too dry."

"Xue Qing is like this. I don't like it."

Xue Li finally showed anger on his face and said sternly: "Don't compare me with Xue Qing!"

"How outrageous!" Hua Ling strode forward, and this time the handle of the gun hit Xue Li's thigh heavily.

Xue Li groaned in pain again, but clenched his teeth and did not scream in pain. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead in response to the pain.

Lin Zhihuang spread his hands and said with a low smile: "Look, I just said something that made you unhappy, and you became angry. Why don't you think about it calmly, whether what I said is right or not."

"Xue Qing..." Lin Zhihuang rolled Xue Qing's name between his lips and teeth, with a hint of mockery.

"Xue Qing was extremely loyal to King Lu at the beginning. He could live for King Lu, or die for King Lu. In the end, he and King Lu walked to that field for two reasons."

Xue Qing's chest rose and fell slightly, and he gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice, "What's the reason?"

"Having a high opinion of yourself and being arrogant."

"Although I have met you for the first time today, in my opinion, you also have these two problems." Lin Zhihuang took a step forward, raised his head and met Xue Li who was tied to the iron frame.

His eyes are full of clear and sharp determination, and he can see through people's hearts repeatedly.

When Lin Zhihuang looked at him with this look, Xue Li calmed down and couldn't help but reflect on whether he was really, as Lin Zhihuang said, actually... so similar to Xue Qing?

Xue Li bit his lip.

Xue Li recalled that in the past, before Xue Qing was really valued by King Lu, he was a good big brother who would occasionally put the young man on his head and take him out for shopping after returning home from his job.

Later, the higher Xue Qing sat, the more unreasonable and unreasonable he became. Those who obeyed me prospered, and those who went against me perished. People who were lower than others were not allowed to show any disobedience.

Is he...really like what King Quan said?

It turns out that he not only looks similar to his eldest brother, but is he also very similar to his eldest brother in his heart?

Xue Li's hands, which were tied to the iron frame, were clenched into fists unconsciously, and he was speechless.

Lin Zhihuang saw that Xue listened to her evaluation of him and did not refute angrily. Instead, he frowned and thought carefully, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Well, if you can reflect on it, that means it can be changed.

No one is perfect, so among the subordinates she accepted, who didn’t have some bad habits in the beginning?

Lin Zhihuang is not afraid of people with bad habits. What she is afraid of is people who know that they have "bad" things in them but refuse to change or face them.

Xue Li can reflect and feel guilty, and then he can change.

Only then did Lin Zhihuang really have the intention to take him in.

"Do you want to surrender to my king?"

Xue Li raised his eyes and asked doubtfully: "Would you like to keep it?"

Well, losing confidence so quickly is quite different from Xue Qing's character.

Lin Zhihuang chuckled, but did not answer Xue Li's question. Instead, he asked: "Xue Li, do you know that you committed a crime today?"

Xue Li was completely carried away by Lin Zhihuang. Hearing Lin Zhihuang ask this question, he lowered his head in frustration and said: "I know. Do you want to sentence me to exile according to the law?"

King Quan does not want to accept him, and wants to punish him according to the crime because of today's incident.

Realizing this, Xue Li, who was tied to the iron frame, lost all energy.

It's a pity that King Quan killed his eldest brother with his own hands. He respected her in his heart and really wanted to follow her example.

It seems that the only option is to be exiled and find a way to escape and join other people in power.
