The setting sun made the back garden glow red, adding a bit of beauty.
Lu Yurong was sitting in a small courtyard in the back garden, reading a book, with a calm and peaceful expression. The nine girls were sitting around her, each busy, some watering flowers, some cutting grass, some practicing martial arts, some reading, faintly
Surround her in the center and form a formation.
Leng Jinghua strode to the back garden, entered the small pavilion, and sat down opposite her.
Lu Yurong, dressed in white as snow, slowly put down her book and looked at Leng Jinghua: "Is there something urgent, uncle?"
"Gu Qi is dead!" Leng Jinghua said solemnly.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Logically speaking, he was such a master that he would not sweat even if he walked in a hurry. However, Leng Jinghua was sweating now, as if he had come all the way in a hurry.
Lu Yurong was startled and said in surprise: "Dead?"
"It is said that he was assassinated by a disciple of the Guangming Holy Cult." Leng Jinghua shook his head and said, "We are currently searching the whole city to find this disciple of the Guangming Holy Cult."
Lu Yurong frowned and said, "How could you die so easily?"
"He's not good at martial arts." Leng Jinghua said: "It's still unreliable to rely on guards...but the Holy Sect of Light has gone too far. He actually assassinated the leader of the Secret Guard Mansion. It's really audacious!"
Lu Yurong said calmly: "Of course the Guangming Holy Sect is very courageous. They don't take our Daji seriously at all... If they can't catch the murderer, the Guangming Holy Sect's disciples have a secret method that can cover up their martial arts."
"It can't be saved." Leng Jinghua shook his head and said: "This person's attack was cruel and his brain was shattered. Even if there is a magical medicine, he can't be saved... Yu Rong, do you really want to be the commander of the Secret Guard House?"
"You can give it a try." Lu Yurong said: "As a commander, at least I don't have to worry about being assassinated by others."
Leng Jinghua nodded lightly.
Lu Yurong's martial arts is among the top among the younger generation. Even if the top senior masters among the top five come over, they will not even think about killing her. They will always give her a chance to escape.
Leng Jinghua thought for a moment and said, "This is not a good time. My father must be very angry now."
"Gu Qi has accomplished nothing since he took office. He should have died long ago." Lu Yurong shook his head and said: "As for the emperor's anger, it is useless. He cannot deal with the Holy Sect of Light."
"Yeah." Leng Jinghua frowned and said, "I'll give it a try!"
He got up and left in a hurry.
Lu Yurong paced thoughtfully.
Why did the Guangming Holy Cult assassinate Gu Qi?
As a member of the Holy Sect of Light, he should be eager for someone like Gu Qi to stay in the position of leader of the Secret Guard Mansion. The more incompetent Gu Qi is, the more beneficial it is to the Holy Sect of Light. Why did he assassinate Gu Qi?
She frowned and said nothing, feeling that something was not right.
After a while, she had a flash of inspiration and smiled. The assassination by the Guangming Holy Cult disciples may not be the Guangming Holy Cult. If others imitate the Guangming Holy Cult disciples, who can know whether it is true or not? Anyway, the murderer was not caught.
She suddenly remembered a piece of news. Gu Qi said that he had found evidence that Chu Li had colluded with the Guangming Holy Cult, and sent someone to ask Chu Li to come back for a confrontation.
The Holy Sect of Light! Chu Li!
She suddenly showed a smile.
Then he floated away.
Chu Li is practicing martial arts on Yuqi Island. He is working hard to practice Da Tianyan Sword and Snap Finger Thunder. Both martial arts are very important to him.
He suddenly raised his brows and disappeared in Yuqi Island.
Baiyun Building is very lively, the first floor is the busiest, the second floor has partitions, and the third floor has single rooms.
Lu Yurong was wearing a snow-covered shirt and a white gauze covering her face. She was sitting by the window of a single room on the third floor of Baiyun Building. There was no one else around her, and she was just eating the food elegantly and calmly.
Chu Li suddenly appeared in the room and sat across from her.
Lu Yurong took off her white gauze, revealing her charming face, looking at him with a half-smile.
Chu Li said: "Your Majesty is here, what are you doing?"
"Chu Li, will you kill Gu Qi?" Lu Yurong said.
Chu Li smiled and said: "I really want to do this. Aren't I waiting for you to expel him from the Secret Guard Mansion?...Huh? Is Gu Qi dead?"
"Pretend to be confused!" Lu Yurong stared at him with bright eyes, penetrating like water, seeming to penetrate into his heart.
Chu Li said angrily: "I'm happy!...How did you die?"
"It is said that he was assassinated by the disciples of the Guangming Holy Cult." Lu Yurong said with a smile: "I wonder why the disciples of the Guangming Holy Cult killed him? Such a fatuous guy, I wish he could always be the commander of the Secret Guard House."
Chu Li said: "Although Gu Qi is said to be fatuous, he has dealt a particularly severe blow to the Holy Sect of Light since he took office. It is understandable that he clings to the Holy Sect of Light and wants to kill him."
"Huh, I think there's something wrong." Lu Yurong shook his head and said, "The person who wants to kill Gu Qi the most is not the Guangming Holy Cult, but you, Chu Li."
Chu Li said: "I want to kill him, but I'm not in a hurry. I believe you can get him away. Once he is no longer the leader, it won't be that troublesome to kill him. You can just deal with him silently."
"What if something forces you to take action?" Lu Yurong said with a smile: "It is said that Gu Qi has evidence of your collusion with the Holy Sect of Light!"
Chu Li laughed and said, "Where did you hear such ridiculous rumors?"
"This thing is true." Lu Yurong said: "In short, Gu Qi died in your hands in all likelihood!"
Chu Li sighed and said: "If the emperor hears this, he will definitely kill me!"
"It's good that you know!" Lu Yurong chuckled.
Seeing Chu Li's expression, she felt extremely proud and relieved.
Chu Li shook his head and said, "You think it's me, but I still think it's you."
"Me?" Lu Yurong pursed her lips and smiled: "Tell me, why should I kill him?"
"The first is for the position of commander." Chu Li said: "I know that you have been eyeing the position of commander of the Secret Guard Mansion. His presence there is an eyesore. You can't wait any longer and want to move him away as soon as possible."
"Second." Chu Li smiled and waved his hand to stop her, and continued: "This is also our agreement."
"I'm not going to kill him for the sake of the agreement." Lu Yurong snorted: "There are many ways to get rid of him, but killing him is the stupidest one."
Chu Li said: "Sometimes the stupider the solution, the less likely others will think of it, especially a very smart person like you!"
"You're knocking me down!" Lu Yurong snorted.
Chu Li shook his head: "This is my true thought. I guess many people will also think so, such as His Highness the Crown Prince or the Emperor!"
Lu Yurong's jade face changed slightly.
Chu Li said: "His Royal Highness will not mention to the emperor that you should be the commander? The emperor is a suspicious person, will he suspect that it was you who did it?"
Lu Yurong frowned and said nothing.
Chu Li said with a smile: "It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince has already mentioned it to the Emperor. Haha, I'm afraid it's impossible for you, the commander-in-chief!"
"Are you happy?" Lu Yurong hummed, "What good will it do to you if I don't become the commander?"
Chu Li smiled and said: "That doesn't do any good...but if you want to be the leader, we can cooperate."
