Chu Li smiled and said: "It's hard to refuse the prince's kindness, so I can only bear it. ∽↗∽↗,"
"Father, why is this happening?" Leng Qiu asked in surprise.
Leng Qing thoughtfully glanced at the direction Meng Lan was leaving and guessed it was a honey trap.
Chu Li was also thoughtful.
There was nothing wrong with Menglan herself, and Wang An didn't even talk to her in private. She was innocent and had no idea that she was being used in a beauty trap.
She simply studied and trained in Qingyun Tower, and when she was old enough, she dressed up and received guests.
She will be able to receive customers in another year. She has been studying and training intensely for these years. She is both looking forward to it and nervous. Unexpectedly, she is suddenly bought by someone and comes to Prince An's Mansion.
She was a little scared, but the training she received allowed her to stay calm and not panic too much. She just followed Yang Xu and listened to her instructions, and gradually became familiar with the place. It seemed that the young master was not a difficult person to get along with.
Seeing this, Chu Li sighed secretly, King An's move was considered an excellent honey trap, but as for the purpose, it was impossible to guess.
In order to make him feel concerned, use Meng Lan to contain him and make him listen to her, or to make him suffer by hurting Meng Lan. Both of these tricks are very sinister.
There is even another purpose, which is to alienate the relationship between himself and Xiao Shi.
Thinking of this, Chu Li smiled and wanted to see what King An had planned.
The two women discussed a few words and continued to practice swordplay. Chu Li came to Tianshu Courtyard.
Xiao Shi was reading under the peach tree. When she saw him coming, she put down the scroll and hummed: "She is indeed very beautiful!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "It's far worse than Miss."
Xiao Shi glanced at him sideways: "I think she is more beautiful! ... Wang An is really willing to spend money. What man can refuse such a beauty!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "King An has many ways to make me accept it. Instead of doing this, it is better to agree directly to avoid trouble."
"...He is really despicable!" Xiao Shi sneered.
She knew what Chu Li said was reasonable.
King An only needs to say that if Chu Li doesn't accept it, then he will sell Meng Lan again, and Chu Li has to agree obediently. In short, if he competes with a vicious-hearted guy like King An, he will inevitably suffer.
Chu Li said: "Let her stay here, I don't need any manpower there."
"Are you really willing to give it up?" Xiao Shi glanced at him sideways, half-smiling but not smiling: "How can you hold back such a beauty when it comes to your lips?"
Chu Li smiled.
Xiao Shi hummed: "Okay, put it next to me, it just so happens that Yang Xu can't do it alone."
Chu Li said: "She is innocent and knows nothing."
"Don't worry, I won't treat her badly!" Xiao Shi sneered: "I feel bad now!"
Chu Li laughed, shook his head helplessly, and stood up to leave.
Xiao Shi said: "You should come and take a look at her more every day. Such a beauty is really pleasing to the eye!"
Chu Li said no more, turned around and left.
As he walked along the path to the outside of the mansion, he ran into the guards and maids in the mansion from time to time. They bowed their heads and saluted, but no longer called the chief manager. Their eyes showed a bit of sympathy, obviously knowing that he had been dismissed again.
But they don't dare to neglect. Once something happens to the palace, the general manager still needs to come forward. If he is removed now, he will definitely be reset in the future.
A bright moon hangs in the sky, and the moonlight is like water.
Chu Li was dressed in a white robe and sat in his small courtyard drinking. He drank and poured himself, looking at each other as three people, quiet and cold.
He didn't go to Tianshu Academy. Xiao Shi would definitely be sarcastic. Although he liked to hear her soft voice, he could still avoid the thorny words she spoke. He would just go there in a few days.
"Tuk-tuk!" The knock on the door sounded, which was particularly clear in the night sky.
"Come in." Chu Li said.
The door of the small courtyard opened, and Liu Xingxiang and Feixue came in. They looked hesitant and slowly came closer.
Chu Li held the white jade cup and glanced at them: "What's wrong with this expression?"
Liu Xing smiled bitterly and sighed: "General manager, we are here to say goodbye."
Chu Li was startled: "Farewell?"
Liu Xing nodded slowly: "The four of us were sent out of the mansion by the prince to deliver a letter."
"What letter?" Chu Li said.
Liu Xing said: "It's a letter to Phoenix Mountain."
"You four are going together?" Chu Li frowned.
Liu Xing nodded.
They were surprised at first that no matter how important the letter was, it did not require the escort of four masters from Heaven and Earth. They knew immediately that the prince was using the topic to make things look bad for the chief manager.
"What about the princess's bodyguard?" Chu Li hummed.
Liu Xing sighed: "The prince doesn't seem to have any intention of adding more guards. Only Zhu Tianhua and Ying Wuqiu are here. We are worried that if something happens..."
"Nonsense!" Chu Li said in a deep voice.
Liu Xing said: "We are not worried, but we cannot disobey the prince's order. We can only come and tell the chief manager that we have to leave tomorrow. We just got the prince's order."
Chu Li nodded: "You go ahead and handle your errands well, lest the prince has an excuse to punish you."
"Yes." Liu Xing and the others said hurriedly.
They also have this worry.
They were originally recruited by the prince with a lot of money to deal with the general manager, but in the end they were in awe of the power of the general manager and surrendered to the general manager. The prince must not be happy because he regarded the four of them as traitors and would definitely cause trouble if they had the chance.
Previously, the prince stopped practicing martial arts in seclusion and practiced hard, and they lived a happy life. Now that the prince has come out of seclusion and the martial arts has resumed, their good days have come to an end. The prince is afraid that he will have to settle accounts with his wife.
Chu Li stretched out his hand and said, "Let me read the letter."
Liu Xing took out the letter from his arms without hesitation and presented it with both hands.
Chu Li took it without opening the envelope, just put it under the moonlight, looked at it, and nodded: "There is a strange aroma on it that ordinary people can't smell, but strange animals can smell it."
The expressions on the four people's faces suddenly turned ugly.
Obviously this is for tracking purposes. If they carry this, they will be watched. If they know their whereabouts, it will be easy to set up an ambush.
Chu Li shook his head and said: "There should be a secret message written in this letter, asking Phoenix Mountain to deal with you. There are four of you, but after entering Phoenix Mountain, it is not easy to escape intact... With these two methods, I'm afraid you will...
I have to take care of my life."
"Then what should we do?" The four of them looked even more ugly.
Although they are good at Qing Gong, no matter how good they are, they cannot withstand such a plot. I am afraid that it is because of their good Qing Gong that the prince used such methods.
There are not just one or two Tianwaitian masters in Phoenix Mountain. Maybe when they arrive, Phoenix Mountain is not only home to the Tianwaitian masters from Phoenix Mountain, but also masters from other sects, waiting for the four of them to come to their door!
Chu Li said: "What are your ideas?"
"Are we disobeying orders?"
"Then I will expel you from the house directly."
"How about just throwing away the letter?"
"If the letter is lost, you will be punished when you come back."
"Then Chief Manager, what should we do?"
Chu Li smiled: "You don't know what you are doing, just send the letter."
"Ah?" The four of them were startled.
Chu Li said: "I am following you secretly, but I want to see who plots against whom!"
"...Thank you, Chief Manager!" The four of them were overjoyed and hurriedly clasped their fists to express their thanks.
The reason why they admired the General Manager in the first place was because of his martial arts skills. If the General Manager was dispatched, there would be nothing to fear! (To be continued.)
