When the first knock on the door rang, Xu Suisui was dragged into the cubicle to change clothes.
This was the only possible way that Li Zimu could think of to break the situation in just a few dozen breaths.
There is no doubt that this move involves a lot of gambling.
After all, Lu Hongji must have seen Xu Suisui's portrait, and she doesn't look much like the latter.
But other than that, Li Zimu really couldn't think of any other way to save Xu Suisui.
So she can only gamble.
And judging from the current situation, she actually won the bet.
...
In just one hundred breaths of time, she transformed from a commoner's daughter to an empress, and she accomplished all this under the premise that the enemy knew the latter's appearance.
At first glance, this seems a bit unbelievable, but in fact it is not too exaggerated.
There is no photography technology these days, and portraits are more or less "distorted" due to the artist's subjective factors.
What's more, Lu Hongji most likely only glanced at it a few times, and his impression would definitely not be very deep.
And on the other hand, although they look different, Li Zimu and Xu Suisui are both pretty, so the difference is not too big.
In addition, the two of them are about the same height and figure, and have never practiced cultivation... To put it bluntly, the gap between the two is not enough for a stranger to tell at a glance.
The most important thing is that Li Zimu made good use of people's preconceived instincts.
Just imagine if you were Lu Hongji, knowing that Xu Suisui was in the cubicle and saw such a woman wearing a Gong uniform, speaking and acting like an empress, would you suspect that she was someone else pretending to be her?
Obviously, except for a very small number of people, most people will not have such "inexplicable" doubts.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Chen and Shen Ran are so surprised now.
Because they didn't expect it either.
"..."
Looking at Li Zimu with wide eyes and short breathing, Tang Chen couldn't even feel the severe pain everywhere on his body.
He is not stupid and naturally understands Li Zimu's purpose of doing this.
But he also understands the cost.
After all, Li Zimu is not Xu Suisui, and her identity will be discovered by Lu Hongji sooner or later.
And when that time comes, Li Zimu's only fate will be death.
Even life is worse than death.
His eyes gradually became painful. There was no doubt that Tang Chen did not want Li Zimu to be harmed in the slightest.
But how can he expose this "scam"?
After all, once he says it, he will abandon the overall situation...
He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands tightly.
Tang Chen was struggling in his heart, and an unprecedented feeling of powerlessness filled his body.
At the same time, Lu Hongji, who had been silent for a moment, spoke again:
"Prince Feng, I have given you enough face, so is it time for you to fulfill what you just said?"
"It's natural."
Without looking at Tang Chen and Shen Ran, Li Zimu looked at Lu Hongji calmly and nodded slightly: "I will follow you..."
The golden skirt swayed slightly, and as he spoke, Li Zimu had already taken steps towards the door.
In fact, she is fully capable of delaying it for a little longer.
But she didn't do that.
Because the earlier she leaves, the less likely she is to be exposed, and accordingly, the safer Xu Suisui will be.
Therefore, Li Zimu didn't say a word nonsense at this time and quickly walked to Lu Hongji.
But at this moment, the latter frowned and took half a step back.
"etc!"
"..."
The air around him suddenly became solid, and these two words made Li Zimu's heartstrings tighten suddenly.
But fortunately, Lu Hongji didn't notice anything.
He winked at a man in black, and then said to Li Zimu in a deep voice:
"Prince Feng, I am a cautious person, so let me search you first."
"excuse me."
search.
There was nothing wrong with this move, and Li Zimu's heartstrings gradually relaxed.
However, she still pretended to glance at the man in black with disgust and shouted in a low voice:
"Since I said I will go with you, I will not break my promise!"
"Haha, Feng Wang, let's search."
Lu Hongji shook his head unmoved: "Otherwise I wouldn't worry."
"you!"
Staring at Lu Hongji, Li Zimu's chest rose and fell violently, as if he had suffered some great humiliation.
Of course, she is still pretending now, and the purpose is naturally to maintain the "persona" of the empress.
However, this scene had a different feeling in Tang Chen's eyes.
His eyes gradually turned red and his body trembled slightly.
Seeing the man in black approaching Li Zimu step by step, Tang Chen suddenly closed his eyes at a certain moment.
And when he opened his eyes again, the dark tapir leopard appeared beside him in Shen Ran's shocked eyes.
His fingers trembled, and the horror in Shen Ran's eyes was even stronger than when he saw Li Zimu just now.
However, Tang Chen no longer cared about what he thought, he just stared at the man in black who was about to search Li Zimu's body, and then bit the tip of his tongue fiercely.
In an instant, blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth, mixing with the blood he had just vomited due to injury.
As for the man in black he was staring at...
His body suddenly froze, like a puppet with its strings cut off, and as if it had suddenly lost its soul.
I saw the man in black suddenly stood still in front of everyone, then turned around a little bit with empty eyes, pulled out the sword from his waist, and pointed it at Lu Hongji...
...
Observe the mind, read the mind.
This is Tang Chen's "Heavenly Power" known to Wei Changtian.
However, the latter has one more trick that he has never used in front of Wei Changtian so far.
This move is actually the most exaggerated ability given to Tang Chen by Tapir Leopard, called "Mind Control".
Controlling one's mind, as the name suggests, naturally involves controlling others.
This effect is awesome once you hear it, let alone see it with your own eyes.
Therefore, when everyone watched the man in black turning the tip of his knife and preparing to slash at Lu Hongji, their eyes widened in disbelief for the first time.
But the next second, the other three men in black who suddenly came to their senses immediately rushed to Lu Hongji's side, ready to kill this companion who suddenly rebelled for unknown reasons.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But before they could take action, Lu Hongji waved his hand first.
"Wait a minute."
With a soft drink from his mouth, Lu Hongji stepped forward instead of retreating under the slightly nervous gazes of the four people, and walked directly in front of the man in black who was like a walking corpse.
Then, he just stood there, motionless, watching the long knife fall very slowly...
To be honest, if you don't know this scene right now, you might think it's slow motion in a movie.
After all, the speed of the long knife is too slow. It is hard to say whether it can cut off Lu Hongji's hair, let alone hurt Lu Hongji.
And this is indeed the case.
A few breaths later, when the long knife finally landed on Lu Hongji's shoulder, it did not even cut the latter's clothes.
A candle that was about to burn out was tumbling in the corner, as if it was making its final struggle.
"snort."
Lu Hongji snorted coldly and slapped away the long knife. Lu Hongji turned to look at Tang Chen who was collapsed on the ground.
At some point, there were two lines of blood and tears in the latter's eyes, making his face look extremely pale.
But Tang Chen still stared at the man in black with his bloodshot eyes, even though his breath was getting weaker and weaker at an extremely fast speed.
Obviously, "mind control" is not without limits.
And what Tang Chen is doing now has undoubtedly exceeded this limit...
There was silence in the secret room for a while, only the joints of the controlled man in black were still making slight noises, and the sound of blood falling to the ground.
No longer looking at Tang Chen, who was still struggling pointlessly like a candle, Lu Hongji suddenly turned his head to look at Li Zimu, and laughed in the most mocking tone:
"Serve the king."
"You're a dead warrior, there's something interesting about it."
