He hugged Xiao Qi and Xiao Shi, and the two women waved their hands.
He took Qi Meng to his small courtyard.
Leng Qiu and Leng Qing participated in the hunting ceremony today and went back to rest. There was no one in the small courtyard and it was very quiet.
"Say it." Chu Li turned to face Qi Meng.
"Commander Xu has left the capital of the gods." Qi Meng looked around and lowered his voice and said: "Before he left, he asked me to come and tell the centurion that he would follow him from now on."
Chu Li frowned: "Leave the Capital of Gods?"
"Yes, go and guard the imperial mausoleum." Qi Meng nodded.
Chu Li's face darkened: "What else does Commander Xu have to say?"
Qi Meng shook his head: "There are no other instructions, just let me inform the centurion, saying that the centurion will understand."
"Well, you will return to Mei Eryuan from now on." Chu Li nodded: "Where is the commander?"
"The commander seemed to have gone out for something and never came back... Commander Xu didn't tell anyone and left quietly. He only asked me to tell the centurion." Qi Meng said.
Chu Li's face calmed down, as if it were normal: "Well, I understand!"
Qi Mengdao: "Commander Xu also ordered me not to tell others about my mission to deliver the letter."
Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "It's no longer necessary."
Since the emperor is so careful, he will not care whether Commander Xu wrote a letter to him. Since he has contact, he will conclude that he knows about it, but he may not take action against himself. It is enough to use Commander Xu to warn him.
Qi Mengdao: "Don't worry, centurion, I will never tell anyone!"
"Be careful. If you tell me, Commander Xu is going to guard the imperial mausoleum, your life will be ruined!" Chu Li said, "Go ahead."
"Yes." Qi Meng's face changed slightly, he clasped his fists and left.
Chu Li walked slowly to Tianshu Courtyard, Xiao Shi looked at him with concern, Xiao Qi's eyes were indifferent, but she stared at him closely.
"What happened?" Xiao Shi asked.
When Chu Li explained the matter, both women's faces dropped.
Xiao Shi frowned and said, "How about you pretend to be sick and say that you have become possessed by practicing martial arts and want to retreat for recuperation?"
"It's useless." Xiao Qi said lightly: "Just do it as usual and remain calm, otherwise you will feel guilty."
"I'm worried about Commander Xu." Chu Li shook his head.
"Will the emperor silence you?" Xiao Shi frowned.
Chu Li said: "Who knows, I really don't understand the emperor's character."
"No." Xiao Qi said: "This is too chilling. Commander Xu is not an ordinary secret guard after all."
"I hope so..." Chu Li sighed.

The withered tree reappeared, the Heavenly Demon Pearl hung on the branches, and then slowly disappeared along with the withered tree.
All his internal energy turned into nothing and dispersed to his outer body. Then the internal energy of the Great Light Art began to rise in his body, and about half of it was restored.
The next moment, he appeared outside Gale City.
As the sun set, he stepped into the east city gate and walked slowly along the bustling street to Huiyao Hall.
The two huge stone lions in front of Huiyao Hall are lifelike and so powerful that people dare not approach them.
Two strong guards stood with swords in their hands, their eyes sharp, standing side by side with the huge stone lions.
Chu Li came to the bottom of the steps. Two guards took a step forward and stared at him: "The rest of the people are waiting back and are not allowed to come near!"
Chu Li took out an iron plate from his arms and showed it.
The two guards were startled, and hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "Please wait a moment, distinguished guest, I will go in immediately to pass the message."
When Chu Li first established the Huiyao Hall, he made this iron plate. The iron plate had the two characters "Huiyao" written on it, and the other side had the character "Zhao" written on it. Those who hold this plate are all distinguished guests of the Huiyao Hall and cannot be neglected.
Kou Qiong came out in a hurry, clasped his fists and said in surprise: "Young master, you are finally here!"
Chu Li waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite, and entered the gate. Kou Qiong followed humbly, bending down, and shocked the two guards.
Kou Qiong knew that he didn't like ostentation and kept a low profile, so he directly led him to the hall and served the tea cup with his own hands: "Master, if you don't come, we really have to ask him for help. These guys are really going too far!"
Chu Li frowned: "From Chiyang Sect?"
"These are the bastards." Kou Qiong said bitterly: "They are robbing our people. As long as we recruit people, they will immediately poach them!"
"Is there any way to deal with it?"
"We can't compete with them, right? We have a weak foundation and can't defeat them," Kou Qiong said.
Chu Li: "Where are the other two gangs?"
"The White Tiger Sect is quite honest, and the Tianluo Sect is also very good, but this Chiyang Sect is really disgusting!" Kou Qiong said bitterly: "He just didn't fall out with us, and Lu Xiaofeng even came here to explain, saying that they too
We are short of people, let’s compete fairly!”
Chu Li nodded slowly: "Okay, if you can't recruit people, you can't recruit people."
Kou Qiong was surprised: "Master, are you passing by by chance this time, or do you want to stay?"
"I'm living here." Chu Li hummed, "I was sent here by the saint. I have to stay for a while. I want to practice in seclusion. If you have nothing to do, don't disturb me!"
"This is a good thing!" Kou Qiong clapped his hands excitedly.
Chu Li glared over coldly.
Kou Qiong smiled and said: "Now we have a backbone. With the young master in charge, we have nothing to fear!... Previously we couldn't defeat the Chiyang Sect, so we could only endure the frustration. This time, let's see how dare they do it.
To stir things up, you have to show them how powerful you are!"
"Starting from today, the Huiyao Hall will be changed to the Great Wind Helm." Chu Li said: "Those who are under the innate perfection will not be recruited. The more valuable the essence is, the more valuable it is!"
"Yes!" Kou Qiong nodded excitedly.
Chu Li waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and find me a place to retreat, and get me a table of good food!"
"Okay." Kou Qiong energetically summoned a young man to give instructions.
The two of them came to an elegant small courtyard, only three houses away from Huiyao Hall, and they could get there in the blink of an eye.
"This is our original residence," Kou Qiong said with a smile, "Young Master, are you satisfied?"
"It's okay." Chu Li nodded: "This is it. Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do. If I'm not here, I just go out to relax, so don't make a fuss!"
"Yes." Kou Qiong nodded hurriedly.
He finally understood that the young master was being assigned to live at ease and have no one to care about him.
Soon a table of dishes was served. Chu Li knew at a glance that it was the work of the chef of Jiuxinglou. He nodded with satisfaction. Kou Qiong was the best at doing this kind of thing.
He was lowering his head to eat when he suddenly looked up. Li Ruolan fell from the courtyard wall, her green shirt fluttering, the white gauze swaying on her face, and the corners of her delicate white mouth fleeting.
Chu Li looked at her in surprise: "Sister, are you here so soon?"
"Give you something." Li Ruolan hummed.
She took out a jade flute from her sleeve and blew it gently, and suddenly three flutes sounded.
"Huh!" A gust of wind blew up, and a dove-like bird fell from the sky. It was all white and flawless, with lively eyes. It stood on Li Ruolan's shoulder and stared at Chu Li curiously.
"This is a survey pigeon. Use it to communicate with the church." Li Ruolan said: "If the saint has any instructions, I will send a message directly."
"Sky Patrol Pigeon..." Chu Li looked at the bird and said with a smile, "How does it taste?"
"If you dare to hurt it, you will be expelled from the Great Bright Peak!" Li Ruolan snorted.
Chu Li nodded: "Okay, I will serve you like a treasure."
