Chu Li said: "I didn't expect this, but after being prompted by Commander Gu, I suddenly figured it out. It seems that I am really not suitable to be an errand in the Secret Guard Mansion. I might as well resign from the errand of the Secret Guard and become mine honestly."
Chief Manager, there are still a lot of things to do in the palace. Prince An is leaving the palace. I have to make the decision on everything. It is really hectic. In addition, I have been practicing hard in seclusion a while ago and accumulated a lot of things. I am even more busy.
Don’t start!”
"But please don't!" Gu Qi waved his hand hurriedly: "You are the elite of our Secret Guard House!"
Chu Li shook his head: "The elites are just a false name, but the secret guards are so dangerous. If they come into contact with any news, they have to guard the imperial mausoleum, and even lose their lives. It's better to be my chief manager!"
"Haha..." Gu Qi smiled and said: "Centurion Chu, you are really over-concerned. There are so many dangerous things in the world. Commander Xu probably did not know the mastermind behind the scenes, but failed to find out the mastermind...
The emperor is extremely angry about the assassination of Princess Ping, and Commander Fu is not in the capital, so the responsibility can only fall on Commander Xu. If he fails to take responsibility, who will bear the responsibility?"
"Really?" Chu Li frowned and hesitated.
Gu Qi smiled and said: "I came from the Forbidden Palace, so I know this."
"That's good..." Chu Li let out a long sigh of relief.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This Gu Qi wanted to find out whether he knew the confession obtained by Commander Xu. If he knew, he would have no choice but to silence him. As a centurion, he did not have the treatment of a deputy commander. He could not guard the imperial mausoleum, so he could just kill someone and silence him.
He felt a chill in his heart, this emperor really treated all his ministers like ants, and he, a first-class man, killed them at will without any mercy.
He previously thought that with his current level of cultivation and current power, he would be able to protect himself.
Now it seems that I was too naive. In the eyes of the emperor, the little centurion and even the chief steward of Prince An's palace are not worth mentioning. Even the top young master is insignificant. He can be killed if he wants.
I have to gain greater power and strive to reach the realm of gods faster in order to protect myself. Otherwise, my life and death will only depend on the emperor's thoughts. This feeling is really terrible!
At this moment, there was a surge of anger and motivation in his heart, and he wanted to desperately seize more power, practice faster, and reach the realm of gods!
In the realm of gods..., now it seems that I have some hope of becoming a god. There are almost no rivals among the younger generation, but if I want to become a god, I need the current god to ascend to heaven.
I can't wait that long, I have to find a way to defy heaven and become a god!
Gu Qi finally passed this level.
As long as he showed the slightest hint of knowing the results of Commander Xu's investigation, his life would be sealed. He could run rampant among the younger generation, but he would not be able to defeat some hidden old monsters.
Gu Qi smiled and said: "Centurion Chu, you have also gone into seclusion. Is it time to come back and do some work?"
Chu Li shook his head: "Commander Gu, I really can't leave now. Please come back to the house after a while."
"This..." Gu Qi's face looked a little ugly.
Chu Li said: "General Gu, you have just arrived, so you may not know very well. Our Mei Second Courtyard does not accept ordinary cases, otherwise it will steal everyone's jobs. Only those difficult cases will be dispatched."
"Oh——?" Gu Qi's face turned even more ugly.
What Chu Li means is that he usually doesn't do anything and only participates in big and difficult cases. He is really arrogant and he finally has experience.
"There are so many Tianwaitian masters in your Mei Eryuan who are so idle, but there are simply not enough Tianwaitian masters in the mansion." Gu Qi frowned and said in a deep voice, his face darkening.
Chu Li shook his head: "The masters of Tianwaitian in Mei Eryuan need to recharge their batteries. If they usually do trivial things, they will not be of great use at critical times. If they delay important things, it will be a sin."
Gu Qi's face was gloomy, but he said no more.
He did not dare to say that this responsibility was his own, otherwise Chu would definitely instruct his subordinates to neglect things at critical moments, make mistakes, and then push the responsibility onto himself, causing endless trouble.
Chu Li coughed slightly and said: "But if Commander Gu really needs manpower, he can also transfer it to Mei Eryuan. After all, he is the secret guard of the Secret Guard Mansion and cannot sit idly by."
Gu Qi's face softened, and he finally felt a little awe.
Chu Li said: "If there is any difficult case to solve, Commander Gu can come to me. If it is an ordinary case, the other courtyards in the mansion will be enough to handle it!"
"That's fine." Gu Qi lowered his face and nodded slowly: "Then Centurion Laochu will be here."
Chu Li cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll take my leave."
"Okay, let's go." Gu Qi said slowly.
Looking at Chu Li's back, Gu Qi's hands were filled with veins, and he was extremely angry.
What a good Chu Li, he really lived up to his reputation, and he didn't take himself as the deputy commander seriously at all.
He is arrogant and difficult to control. He really has to use him to establish his authority. Otherwise, who in the Secret Guard Mansion will obey him?!
Chu Li left the hall, shaking his head secretly.
This Gu Qi is another Fu Mengshan, with a smiling face. He looks smiling and amiable, but in his heart he has evil thoughts and always wants to harm others.
He and he were not the same person, and they would have a falling out sooner or later, so he couldn't take any chances. Fu Mengshan hid aside and didn't come out at all. The origin of this Gu Qi was not clear.
When he returned to Mei Eryuan, everyone gathered around him.
Chu Li waved his hand: "Okay, go about your business, don't worry!"
Dong Qifei said: "Centurion, that guy named Gu didn't cause any trouble, did he?"
"No." Chu Li shook his head: "But sooner or later he will cause us trouble, so be careful."
"It's no big deal, we can just pretend to be sick." Dong Qifei snorted: "If we are sick, do we still have to insist on coming here to order some mao?"
"Don't go so far." Chu Li shook his head and said, "It's not good to be too domineering, as it will make everyone angry!"
"Yes." Dong Qifei nodded helplessly: "We will be careful."
Yang Zongwen said: "He doesn't want to use us to establish his power?"
Chu Li laughed and said: "It's not that serious, but you have to be careful about his little moves. I'm going back first."
"Yes." Everyone clasped their fists and saluted.
Chu Li waved his hand and left the Secret Guard Mansion.
After he returned to his own courtyard in Prince An's Mansion, he suddenly disappeared.
——
Xu Huande was wearing a green shirt and wielding a long sword. He was sweating profusely, his face was as pale as paper, and there was a long wound on his left shoulder.
He was being attacked by four masked men in black, wielding knives like a violent storm.
The long sword was like a curtain of light protecting the whole body. Xu Huande's swordsmanship was extremely high. Although he was at a disadvantage, he never collapsed and struggled to hold on.
Not far from them, two masked men in black clothes were lying, both injured by Xu Huande. They were lying motionless on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
But after injuring two men in black, Xu Huande paid the price of his injuries. His internal strength was exhausted. He was at the end of his strength and could no longer support himself.
He sighed secretly while waving his sword. The sword skills of these six masked men in black were extremely high. They didn't seem to belong to any martial arts school. They were probably the guards of the forbidden palace.
Could it be that the emperor finally couldn't help but want to silence himself?
He couldn't accept it and was unwilling to die here.
Although guarding the imperial mausoleum is equivalent to waiting for death, there is still a glimmer of hope for recovery. After a while, the prince is sure that he is safe.
