Playing with fire is easy to set yourself on fire! 4
"Sir, you are so forgetful. I drank with Mo Mou a few days ago, and now you have forgotten about Mo Mou?!" Li Li said with a self-deprecating smile.
Zhou Zhengren heard that she had a kind face, and her voice was even more familiar. When she mentioned this, he recognized her as Mo Li. He rushed to her arm and helped her up from the ground, "Master Mo, this...
…what on earth is it?!"
Li Mo Li stood up straight, gave him an ambiguous smile, and whispered, "Good luck, sir, here is the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune!"
Zhou Zhengren was confused when he heard this. After such a big event, he was afraid that his hair would be in ruins. How could he talk about getting promoted and making a fortune?!
Seeing his doubts, Mo Li raised his chin indifferently towards the corpse on the ground, "These murderers who wanted to kill people and set fire in Nancheng were all wiped out by my lord in one fell swoop. Your lord has eliminated harm for the people and shared the country's worries. Don't you think of such a great contribution?"
It’s hard to get promoted and make a fortune!”
"This..." Zhou Zhengren showed hesitation on his face.
If you really follow what Mo Li said and report to the superiors like this, this is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will be beheaded!
However, if he didn't do this, he would know the consequences without Li Li reminding him.
After weighing it up, Zhou Zhengren was still a little worried, "I'm afraid no one will believe me if I tell you!"
Although his strength was average, he also had some knowledge. With just one glance, he could tell that the man in black robe was a mysterious master. With just him and his idiot subordinates, could he kill a mysterious master?!
Moreover, the crossbow swords used by those people are all made by the military. It goes without saying that these people are very tough in the background.
If he doesn't get it right, he will get into trouble. Losing his official position is a small matter, but losing his life is a big deal.
Seeing Zhou Zhengren's hesitation, Mo Li glanced at the men who were listening attentively. A cold look flashed in his eyes, and he lightly picked up the assassin's fallen knife handle on the ground with his toes, already holding the knife in his hand.
Hold the knife in your right hand and flick it lightly with your left hand.
There was only a click sound, the blade shattered violently, and several rays of cold light hit the important acupuncture points on the bodies of several of his subordinates.
After the cold light passed, several of the men who followed Zhou Zhengren were killed by the broken knives before they had time to react.
Throwing the handle of the knife on the ground, Mo Li turned to look at Zhou Zhengren, who was pale with shock.
"Your Excellency led the troops to patrol, and saw these people approaching the palace in a ghostly manner, and immediately went forward to check, and the other party took action. It happened that Mo came back from Tianxiang Tower to Zhenbei Hou's banquet, and he was Daming on his private parts.
The citizens, the good citizens of Chang'an, naturally couldn't stand by and watch, so they helped you to get rid of a few thugs. During the fight, all of your men died for the country, and you and I were both injured. Isn't this very reasonable?!"
"I'm...injured?!" Zhou Zhengren raised his eyebrows in confusion, and then covered the arm that was chopped into pieces by Mo Li, "You...?!"
Wiping his blood on his dagger on his sleeve, Mo Li smiled comfortingly at him, "Don't worry, sir. It's just a flesh wound. There is no poison on my knife. As long as you apply some medicine, it will be healed soon."
Recover as before!"
Zhou Zhengren watched her calmly put the dagger back into the scabbard, how dare she refuse.
Although Li Qiye didn't say it explicitly, he had already guessed that if he didn't do what she said, she would stab him to death just like his men did, and then it could be said that he also died for the country.
Of course, Zhou Zhengren didn't want to be "killed in the line of duty," so he wisely showed a forced smile to Mo Li, "Master Mo, regardless of his personal safety, came to help. I will definitely put in a good word for you in front of my superiors!"
Li Qiye raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction, "Then, thank you so much, Mo!"
